Batteryboard: common questions
How big is the Batteryboard PCB?
The Batteryboard measures 90.2 × 95.9 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Batteryboard?
24 components, from 16 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 Batteryboard design files?
From the UChicago-Space-Program/pulse-hardware repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Batteryboard design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with UChicago-Space-Program. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
