Today noticed that Adafruit sells such RX board.

Universal Qi Wireless Receiver Module

$14.95

This is great for making wireless charging devices more popular!

Thanks for designing receiver board.

I downloaded the zip file. Schematic opens Ok.

But when I click on the brd file it does not open and message comes:

"Illegal data in file"

May be I have too Eagle version

Version 4.11 for Windows

and should use the Farnell offer for 1 year free licence?

Well done.

Strangely the TI datasheet doesn't seem to worry about a particular layout, so I guess the resonant capacitors placement doesn't affect the overall frequency because the coil inductance is so high.

It's really good to see the TI forum support you received.

TI also have an excellent free sample service, and I now wish I had noticed the bq51050B when I sent away for mine. (element14 don't stock the IC on it's own)

They have the ability to also do 5v charging, so could be a very useful device to have around.

I had some boards done recently through Hackvana. I'm very happy with the result.

Thanks for sharing
