Clarify PowerBoost 500C or 1000C?

[rbrisita]

Describe the bug
The schematic is still unclear. The pictured PowerBoost board is labeled "500C" but the text label states "1000 Charger". Which is it? I already bought the former version. 🤞

To Reproduce

Expected behavior
For the diagram to be accurately labeled.

Additional context
It would be great to also state what the push button is suppose to do. I get the switch turns on/off the charging of the battery but the push button button is an assumption.

Good call out, the 1000C powerboost should be the one, although I saw in another issue thread #110 that someone thought that the 1000 might be overkill. We really should change it to 1000. Do you happen to have the fritzing app on your computer and can provide me an image of the 1000?

Sadly, I don't have the software installed but have time later tonight to look into it.

I would like to point out that both the 500C and 1000C have a 2A internal switch and the description of the 500C mentions it handled 1000mA with no issues, you just need a battery at that capacity:

If I understand correctly, the only difference really is that it will take longer to charge a battery with the 500C.

Donated and downloaded Fritzing and imported the part found here. Unfortunately, it doesn't have pad connectors for the LiPo battery so wires won't connect and won't update the other views (Schematic and PCB). Tried the Parts Editor but it leaves much to be desired in functionality and ease of use. I added an attached image in JPG format (O1Light - M5 ATOM Echo PowerBoost 1000C wiring). I believe the 500C will still work and the current images should be kept and renamed and noted in the README.md and BOM.md files. To add further info, the other difference between the 500C and 1000C is that the latter has smart load sharing that allows it to act as a UPS.

Also, I noticed the slide switch is DPDT but I believe all that is needed is a SPST for it to function properly. This should be changed in all related files too.

I am also noticing the 0 (number) and O (letter) are being used interchangeably when talking about 01. Consistency helps.
