Did some soldering !! :slight_smile:
Also did some basic measurements and it looks quite good :sunglasses:

Touch is working so far !! :slight_smile:

And by the way this project is one for a contest in Germany called "JugendForscht ", a contest for science loving young people. I also have to write a domcumentation and make presentation for this :slight_smile:

If anyone is interessted to get a PCB or the hole thing soldered up, please tell me. You can get it for the costs of materials and shipping :slight_smile:

I think it would be great to have one for the Austrian Fairphoners to show it to other people! What do you think @Stefan @paulakreuzer @werner_noebauer @EvaS?
But how much would it cost?

PCB costs about 10 € (Aisler), Atmega32u4 about 5€ (conrad) + caps and resistors + shipping => about 20€ ? :thinking:

I think we can afford that. :slight_smile:

That’s great work! Now with the released cover files you can easily create a fitting cover!

Here you can see the result of printing the edited case files :slight_smile:

The pcb is just fitting perctly into my designe :slight_smile:

But what do you think? :slight_smile:

Great work! I enjoy following this development. :smiley:

I hope that the #communityportal will soon be able to promote these #hardware:diy hacks. Maybe you can even team up with @jayy and build a proper 3D-printed case for the QI charger extension.

Hey Cherry,
this project is really cool! If I would have a FP2, I would order one module from you, but I am still on FP1 :wink:

Code is fully working and touch is working smoothly :slight_smile:
Everything soldered up: 30 € (includes shipping)
With 3d-printed case: 35 € ( includes shipping, support not removed)
