I just posted some new photos of a mintyboost kit that I made using a new box that I found.

My Mintyboost project is at http://21stdigitalhome.blogspot.com/201 ... -game.html - a bit unconventional using it with the Adafruit LiPoly to power a 5 volt Arduino Esplora
I tried to post a picture but it was way too big. Can you pull one off the blog for the flickr pool? Thanks, Mike

xmAAAboost
Here's "little" something I made, using information on the mintyboost 3.0 page, I wanted to make it myself and as an amateur I dont yet have stuff to make-bake-chemicals-magic PCB's so I bought one pre-made "lanes" off the shelf PCB and cut/saw/reroute necessary paths
As It's not mintyboost, I call it xmAAAboost, took some searching and I was lucky to find so suitable mint box
Added on/off switch and an indicator led to see if circuit is powered or not, it's wired pass 5k resistor so it draws really nothing. I'm not sure what's it idle power usage of the schematic/caps etc so i felt like complete cutoff button would be nice.
It's nice and small, just a little longer edge than the AAA batt as you can see, ~5x5x1.5cm.
Here are two pictures and youtube video of the making process
Youtube video, making of xmAAAboost.
hope you like it

Finished this afternoon...
Fitted two LED's to an aluminium enclosure (the tin was just too small to fit solar charger as well!). One LED is a clear 'blue' that lights up when given external power (solar/mains). The other is an RGB LED which lights up green when charging the internal LiPo battery then blue when done.
Worked first time too!

Well, I could not remember my 1000 year old Yahoo login so no Flikr love, but I did post my cute little MintyBoost on Tumblr (why do they hate so hard on the -er?!)
I had a blast putting together my project, and especially painting my tin. Though I had a strange bubbling paint failure, so I have ordered a new tin. Now my 75 year old mom wants me to make her one... oh man. Can't wan't to make a solar charger too!
