Do I have to create my own Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) in order to use this CubeSat Kit?
Not necessarily, but realistically you will need to develop at least one PCB that is specific to your CubeSat mission. For simple designs, you can use the Flight Module’s powerful MCU as your primary controller. You can put your own electronics (serial EEPROMs, sensors, power supply, connectors, etc.) on a CubeSat Kit Protoboard and connect them via the CubeSat Kit Bus connectors. Sophisticated users with complex designs will want to build their own modules on custom PCBs. Again, these will connect to the Flight MCU via the CubeSat System Bus connectors. User modules can also connect to the PC/104 bus, or even the PC/104-Plus bus.
