FeatherSwitch

AdaFruit Feather Enable Switch Board. Designed in KiCAD.

This board connects the GND pin and the EN pin (opposite sides of the Feather boards) together with a switch, ideally across the underside of the Feather board. The switch is next to the battery connector. It doesn't obscure the battery connector, but does make it more difficult to remove the battery. This can be ameliorated by mounting this board to either a Feather Wing, or the Feather Doubler (or Tripler) This allows conveniently turning off the board without disconnecting either a battery or the USB cable. This first version of the board has hole size and spacing for AdaFruit#805 slide switch or mechanical equivalent. Note: The holes are slightly too small for 0.25"sq header pins.

The design works best if the 2oz copper option is selected to get 0.8mm (1/32", or half standard) thick boards. These boards are available to order using the button below.

Questions

How big is the FeatherSwitch PCB?

It measures 15.2 × 27.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 0.8 mm thick.

What parts does the FeatherSwitch use?

12 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 FeatherSwitch KiCad files?

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

Can I use the FeatherSwitch design in my own project?

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