Questions

How big is the Charge bay PCB?

It measures 90 × 51.4 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.61 mm thick.

What parts does the Charge bay use?

111 parts, built around the RP2040, 74LVC2G241GS, TJA1051T/3/1 and LP38691SD-3.3. 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 bay KiCad files?

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

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

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