# 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.
