Questions

How big is the Charge controller PCB?

It measures 56.6 × 43.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Charge controller use?

22 parts, built around the NE555P and IRF540NPBF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Charge controller KiCad files?

From the aliyou-sn/Charge-controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is charge COntroller.kicad_pcb and its schematic charge COntroller.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Charge controller design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask aliyou-sn before reusing the design.
