Overview

3D Board Renders

Isometric View	Top View	Bottom View

Schematic

Full schematic of the charging, protection, and boost-conversion circuitry:

If the vector render above does not display (GitHub occasionally sandboxes inline SVG), open it directly: docs/images/schematics/project2.svg. A PNG fallback may also be available at docs/images/schematics/project2.png.

PCB Layer Breakdown

Primary Layers

Top Copper (F.Cu)	Bottom Copper (B.Cu)

Top Silkscreen (F.Silkscreen)	Bottom Silkscreen (B.Silkscreen)

Board Outline (Edge.Cuts)

Supplementary Layers

Solder Mask Layers — Top (F.Mask) & Bottom (B.Mask) (click to expand)

Top Solder Mask (F.Mask)	Bottom Solder Mask (B.Mask)

Bill of Materials & Manufacturing Files

Note: If the BOM is provided as a spreadsheet instead of CSV, use docs/power_management_system_bom.xlsx.

Note: .history/, DRC.rpt, report.txt, and temp-freerouting.dsn are local KiCad/tooling artifacts. Consider adding them to .gitignore if they don't need to be version-controlled — they're listed here only for completeness.

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/devKOff/pcb-lipo-power-management-system.git
   cd pcb-lipo-power-management-system

2. Open in KiCad v10 Open project2.kicad_pro in KiCad to view or edit the schematic and PCB layout.
3. Manufacture the board Send the contents of gerbers/ directly to your PCB fabricator, and reference docs/power_management_system_bom.csv for assembly.
4. Mechanical integration Import the STEP file from step/ into your CAD tool of choice for enclosure or assembly design.
