Felix,
I'm enjoying my power shield, very nicely done.
I noticed that the board has CC and Open Hardware logos on the board, but I haven't seen the EagleCad files or a BOM show up on your GitHub. Any plans to release these or is the reverse engineering left as an exercise to the reader? ;)
I'd love to add a few SMD sensors to what you've got as a proto area to reduce my stack of three boards down to two.
Thanks, I will release it as soon as I have a little time to prepare everything.

Awesome, thanks again for sharing your hard work with us.

Hi Felix,
thank you for sharing the eagle files :)
One, more generally question: I like the PCB rendering files (*.png), but I didn't find a possibility to create them via EagleCAD. Do I need an additionally software or how do you create these pictures?
PrintScreen .. paste in your favorite image editor .. save as PNG
Hmm ok but with PrintScreen I get only a picture of the Eagle layout and not from a rendered PCB. So how do you get the rendered view of your layout? I can't find any menu item in Eagle CAD and with Google I got only some information about 3D rendering...
What do you mean by rendered view?
In Eagle it looks like this:

And you have a picture like this:

(http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3579/lq3orkn5_png.htm)
So my question is, how do you get such a picture? Is there an option in Eagle CAD or do you use a graphic editor?
This question is not directly associated with the topic of this thread, I'm sorry for this.
Oh, that was rendered via OSHPark.com ;)
You could technically do it in Eagle but you will need to change the layer colors and only show the layers you want. Easier at OSHPark if you just need a rendering and you don't care it's purple.
