About
The Development Board (DB) is a module of Pumpkin’s CubeSat Kit nanosatellite architecture. It is compatible with all CubeSats that conform to the CubeSat Kit Bus standard with its 104-pin connector, and is designed to accept one of Pumpkin’s Pluggable Processor Modules (PPM A1, A2, A3, B1, D1, D2 or E1) to create a working command-and-data-handling module for development and bring-up purposes.
Because the schematics, software, test code and other documentation for this item are only provided with the purchase of a complete CubeSat Kit, the Development Board may only be ordered “a la carte” once a customer has purchased a complete CubeSat Kit. This restriction allows Pumpkin to provide CubeSat Kit components, associated software and technical support at low prices.
Documentation available for the module includes instructions for USB use in Windows 10, a configuration file for Windows 10, and Windows 7 (and later) driver files (cskdriverswin7.zip).
