I don't know how to build a Powerbank!

Hello guys, I recently got a lots of old empty 12K Vapes, and I wanted to use the case for an Powerbank.
here are some screenshots from the design of the PCB (2 from 3D Viewer and 1 from PCB Editor):

And to come to the point: I dont Know how I make the main Thing a Powerbank with only one USB-C port should do: The charging of the Battery and the Outputting of 5 volts if a device gets connected!

The old display I also Reuse! but with which chip should I Use for it? Here is a PDF how the display is controlled:

Document-2.pdf (1.2 MB)

I hope someone can help me with this!

Note: the BAT-pads got deleted cause KiCAD Crashed, and the pads i forgot to add befor taking the screenshot!

Sorry, but this is NOT the forum for these types of questions.

This forum is about how to use KiCAD, NOT how to design electronics

I am new here so forgive my ignorance but isn’t the title of this category ‘Projects’?

what else world the Projects section be for?

Quoting the Category Description,

‘Sometimes you want to talk about the projects you’re working on. Sometimes it will be relevant to KiCad.info because it will be so tightly coupled to the program, especially as the design is starting to take shape. Use this category to talk about projects, but try to mention how KiCad is playing a part in the design.’

How to improve a PCB from you project, not how to design the circuit, which beyond the scope of KiCad

OK sorry, I just don’t know where else I should post such questions! Could you give me a link of a Forum that is for such questions?

Closing this soon
Please don’t get into the basic design here.

A better place to look for this kind of help is the eevblog fourm. I would send the link, but I don’t have it handy. There is a beginners’ subforum on eevblog and your questions should get more help there.

This is not really a design forum, unless it is specific to PCB design. The projects subforum here is not a general electronics help forum.

Good luck,
John

OK, thanks! Oh by the way I must make a other post! wanted to make it long ago!

All I can say is, that inside corners on PCBs don’t work. There is a minimum diameter the manufacturer can mill.
The rest would be completely off-topic for the KiCad forum

what do you mean exactly by that?

You can’t have a sharp corner here. There is a minimum radius required defined by the milling bit’s diameter.
corner

This board will be rejected.

I am there since may be half year. It worked for me correct until today. 10 hour ago I couldn’t open EEVBlog forum. Hour or two later it was possible but each link worked only once per two tries. Than it is not working once more.

Yeah, EEVBlog has had some hiccups today. Seems it’s being fixed.

I’m closing this topic as it isn’t Kicad specific.
Once you have determined your design, feel free to ask for help here how to realise it in kicad
