# Build a CubeSat: Hardware Design Resources
|
||
|
||
## KiCad Library
|
||
This contains a unified library of curated symbols, footprints, and 3D models.
|
||
It’s kept as up to date as possible, but if anything is wrong, obsolete, or missing, don’t hesitate to [let me know](mailto:hello@buildacubesat.space).
|
||
|
||
## KiCad Templates
|
||
KiCad project template files for the most common boards. Currently includes the following:
|
||
|
||
- **Blank**: No edge cuts.
|
||
|
||
**Work in progress:**
|
||
- **PCB Main, single bacBus**: Main PCB for stacking with bacBus on the Xp side, pass-through on the Xm side. Mechanical connection: board clamps or holders.
|
||
- **PCB Main, double bacBus**: Main PCB with bacBus on both Xm and Xp sides. Mechanical connection: board clamps or holders.
|
||
- **PCB Daughter, rail mount**: Mezzanine PCB without bacBus, intended to connect to a Main PCB via pin headers or other means. Mechanical connection: board clamps or holders.
|
||
- **PCB Daughter, standoff mount**: Mezzanine PCB without bacBus, intended to connect to a main PCB via pin headers or other means. Mechanical connection: bolts to standoffs on main PCB.
|
||
- **EPS Main PCB**: PCB that sits atop the battery pack in the EPS bay. Dual bacBus connectors, 4 landing pads for modules (2 chargers, 2 voltage regulators). Mechanical connection: M3 bolts to EPS bay.
|
||
- **EPS Module PCB**: Stamp sized voltage regulator or charging module that go on top (or underneath) the EPS Main PCB. Mechanical connection: Soldering or pin headers.
|
||
- **Panel PCB**: Side panels for the Xm, Xp, Ym, Yp sides of the satellite. 0.5U size. Mechanical connection: M3 bolts to structure.
