LiPo heater: common questions

What microcontroller does the LiPo heater use?

The LiPo heater is built around the ATtiny13-20SSU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the LiPo heater PCB?

The LiPo heater measures 32 × 32 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the LiPo heater?

49 components, from 33 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the LiPo heater design files?

From the PatrickBaus/LiPo_heater repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the LiPo heater design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with PatrickBaus. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the LiPo heater without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
