# LibreSatCam
LibreSatCam is a project to make a free software, open source hardware,
libre camera optimized for photographing artificial satellites.

It is a fork of an upstream project, see below for details.


# TODO
Perhaps, round one:

* Create bill of materials (BoM) suitable for ProtoExpress.
* Submit BoM to ProtoExpress.
* Submit upstream pre-made Altium gerber files to ProtoExpress.

Round two:

* Port board to KiCAD.
* Submit new design to ProtoExpress.


# Bill of Materials
See the `BoM/` directory for the bill of materials spreadsheets.

There are three PCBs to be manufactured, requiring three BoMs.
Converting the three below to BoMs suitable for ProtoExpress.

* Camera --- Initial draft.
* FPGA --- Draft, some Mouser parts.
* USB --- Initial draft.
