BeageBone QiLiCape – a wireless power charger cape for BeagleBone
The QiLiCape – wireless power charging cape for BeagleBone
v.01 is here >>> QiLiCape-ioclk.v01 Eagle .sch file format.
v.02 will have some linux integration.
A new project is started: The QiLiCape, a BeagleBone cape that is a wireless power Lithium battery charger and power supply enabling the usb host support operation when in battery mode.
It’s a work in progress, an opensource project ignited by element 14.
Fetures a BQ51013A driven by a Wuerth Electronic 760308101 Coil and a BQ24075T battery charger with power-path management -separate power path for battery and system power.
Some useful stuff:
The BeagleBone: site, manual
TI datasheets: BQ51013A, BQ24075T
Wuerth/Wurth Electronic: 760308101 Coil datasheet
Next step: adding the BeagleBone connectors – Open Source Design Credits: Adafruit (Adafruit Store BeagleBone Cape / Adafruit on Git ) and Victor Sluiter (Element14 Profile Page / Blog)…
