Questions

How big is the ChargeBoost PCB?

It measures 84 × 20.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the ChargeBoost use?

33 parts, built around the TPS61235PRWLT. 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 ChargeBoost KiCad files?

From the Redherring32/TinyTendo repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/ChargeBoost/ChargeBoost.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the ChargeBoost design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask Redherring32 before reusing the design.
