OFFICIAL-Qi Lime Pi Rev 2...A Simplified Version Using the New BQ51050B!

Hello World,

 

I just wanted to show off a new product of mine called the Qi Lime Pi Rev 2. This utilizes the new chip BQ51050B. This new device from TI has a built in battery charger, allowing for over 90% efficiency! The components and PCB space is reduced significantly, ultimately resulting in a REV 2 new design.

 

Since the new BQ51050B will not be available before Nov 30, I will be showcasing the design and board layout for anyone to use at TI's and My discretion!

 

Presenting the Qi Lime Pi Rev 2..In Red, Green, Black and Moldy Purple!

This new board has a HUGE prototyping area for anything Raspberry Pi! I have combined a proto area and the Qi Receiver/Battery Charger for more support of any type of project. These boards are on order and will be here the first part of December.

 

Information about the new BQ51050B from TI is available here:

Here is a video of TI testing and showing off the new chip!

Thank you and enjoy!

 

I will upload the Eagle Schematic and BRD (PCB) File shortly! But for now please play with the google sketchup 3D model of this board located in the attatchments.

    Hi Chad,

     

    I have to admit, that is probably the densest prototyping board I have ever seen.

    It will be interesting to see what people do with it.

     

    Thanks,

    DAB

    Thanks DAB! I wanted to make a HUGE proto area for anyone that can use this for a big project. It is really just a Prototype protoboard for myself or anyone. But I agree that the Slice version will be the most popular due to price and size benefits!

     

    Thanks again for your review. I love having advice and being critiqued image
