Questions

How big is the Boost Converter PCB?

It measures 45 × 40 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Boost Converter use?

11 parts. 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 Boost Converter KiCad files?

From the edlee04/ME433 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is HW15/KiCad/Boost Converter.kicad_pcb and its schematic HW15/KiCad/Boost Converter.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Boost Converter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask edlee04 before reusing the design.
