LibreSatCam/README.md

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.
