Overview
Boost module is an open-source printed circuit board by UofA-SPEAR, from the UofA-SPEAR/pcb_designs repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 25 × 25 mm with 22 parts on 12 nets, routed with 39 tracks and 21 vias.
It is built around the ACS712ELCTR-20A-T and MT3608. Its parts include 10 capacitors, 5 resistors, 2 ICs and 2 diodes.

Onboarding
If you plan on contributing to the PCB designs, first, you need to go through this list:
- Sign up for github, and fill out the new member form (contact the current team lead for this).
- Follow the GitHub Guides, specifically:
- "Hello World"
- "Understanding the GitHub flow."
- "Documenting your projects on GitHub"
- Follow the Onboarding Task.
Contributing
In order to start a new project, there are a few steps.
- Create a new branch for your project.
- Create a folder for your project, with the name of your project.
- Create an Eagle library for your project.
- Begin a documentation page on the wiki.
Branches
Branches are a useful concept in Git, where you can work on your portion of the project seperately from everyone else, and then "merge" your changes back in.
We make use of branches extensively. For every project, or new task, make a new branch, with
the naming scheme project-name-yourname, where "yourname" is ideally your first name, or at least
something that uniquely identifies you.
When you are finished your design, make a pull request to master, and assign the team lead to review it. This is where the team lead will do a design review and ask to make any required changes. Once these changes are made (or there are no changes), this code will be pulled into the main repository, and the branch will be deleted.

Questions
How big is the Boost module PCB?
It measures 25 × 25 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Boost module use?
22 parts, built around the ACS712ELCTR-20A-T and MT3608. 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 module KiCad files?
From the UofA-SPEAR/pcb_designs repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/comp-pdu/boost-module/boost module.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Boost module design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UofA-SPEAR before reusing the design.
