Questions

How big is the Characterizer PCB?

It measures 113 × 93.7 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Characterizer use?

217 parts, built around the STM32F042K6T6, TPS54719RTE, MIC5205-3.3YM5 and FDMA008P20LZ. 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 Characterizer KiCad files?

From the patrickyeon/battery-characterizer repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/characterizer/characterizer.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Characterizer design in my own project?

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