Re: Powerboost
The "C" has the Charging circuit that you'll need if you want to charge your battery. The regular one is just a step-up booster.Robots86 wrote:Looking at the powerboost i have come across a powerboost 1000 basic and powerboost 1000 c. im presuming i will need 1000 c but im not sure on the difference?

Re: Powerboost
The only place I have found availability is through ebay. adafruit seems to be sold out for a few weeks.

Re: Powerboost
I'm wondering if the eBay sellers are just dropshippers, which means that you'll receive the board when Adafruit is back in stock. Probably me being crazy again, but hmmm...

Re: Powerboost
I also had trouble finding the adafruit board so I found a (cheaper) alternative. I added it to the wiki:

Re: Powerboost
Seems like an awesomely cheap alternative. What is it's mA+ rating, and how did you wire it?sander wrote:I also had trouble finding the adafruit board so I found a (cheaper) alternative. I added it to the wiki:
