Description

Hi everyone,

Is there a Fritzing part for the Powerboost 500C that has includes pads for the USB output ? They are present on the Fritzing part for the 1000C. I have taken a look at the parts that I can find and the closest equivalent in the standard parts is one that includes the holes for a terminal block instead. But no pads for the USB connector. To clarify, these are the pads that I am referring to:

I am aware that the regulated +5v and 0v are available elsewhere on the board but would like to bring the USB footprint out onto the host PCB in its entirety.

Please note that I am new to Fritzing and am aware that I could probably edit an existing part but have absolutely no experience in doing this and wouldn't know where to start. Oh yes, I Googled it but the 500C does not seem to have the same love as the 1000C does.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Powerboost 1000C part and the closest Powerboost 500C or terminal-block equivalent in the Fritzing parts collection. Compare their USB footprints and determine how the 500C part should expose the USB output pads; done means a usable 500C part includes that footprint. No file or test is named, so the repository structure and Fritzing part-editing workflow need to be identified first.
