After modding an original pinetime charger to utilize a USB-C port from a TP4056 module, I've decided to make a more "finished" version.
This is the prototype for an open-source USB-C charger for the pinetime.
I've designed it to use only a minimal amount of cheap and readily available parts, without the necessity to use a custom PCB.
The only custom part necessary is the enclosure, which can be 3D printed. Maybe I'll even sell the chargers preassembled or as kit.
#### Tools list:
- 1mm drill for the pogopins through hole
- 2mm drill for the pogopins recess
- 3mm drill for the magnets holes
- soldering iron
- epoxy glue
#### Parts list:
- 2 pogopins 1mm diameter, length up to 20mm
- 2 magnets 3x3mm
- 1 USB-C breakout board, use whatever small board you can get. The design is spaced out for a breakout with 1mm thick PCB.
- 3D printed enclosure top & bottom part
- perfboard or some wire to connect the breakout with the pogopins
