Reference Design for Custom Expansion PCB
-
I'm building a custom expansion PCB to produce a compact final product. I know that there's an Altium example schematic and PCB layout, but seeing as I'm not using Altium software, I'm not able to view any of the data contained. I've tried using an online converter to port those Altium files to KiCAD and other EDA software, but have been unsuccessful thus far.
Does anyone happen to have a reference design for a custom expansion PCB that I can use in KiCAD? Or at the very least, are there resources available that show the exact measurements and relative distances of components so that I can layout my expansion PCB to correctly connect to the VOXL2? -
@Kevin-Racktoo Hi Kevin,
Please give me a few hours and I'll update our website with some extra 2D .PDFs to help with your questions. I'll be sure to include relevant dimensions that are obtained from the altium package.
I'll post a link here once that new data is live. -
@Kevin-Racktoo Hi again Kevin,
I'm happy to provide this updated resource: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-custom-expansion/
We just added a new zip file with all the outputs that someone with Altium could make (but I added in some extra ASSY views with dimensions for you that are not part of the original Altium package).
Hope this helps speed up your design process.
Let us know if you have any more questions or need more help!Thanks!

@Kevin-Racktoo Glad we can help.
If you would like us to review your schematic for Voxl2 integration before you tape-out, just let us know!
You can use our contact form to reach out and we'll respond back.
