KiCAD source files for Manuvr's motion capture glove.

This is the power-management block of Manuvr's motion-capture glove. It has been broken out as a module for testing and re-use.

Charge and discharge rate on the battery must not exceed 1A, or the internal sense resistor in the fuel gauge will burn out. There is a resetable fuse to prevent damage, but this forms the limit on the module's practical output rating. However, the charger IC can handle up to a 20v input, and could…
