The standard USB at one end, the µUSB at <br class=""> the other and the Mini-USB (GTA04) perpendicular to the board surface <br class=""> so that it does not stick much away from the GTA04 body. It is like I <br class=""> already do it for the Qi-Charger.<br class=""> <br class=""> There is no need to install them all three in parallel, so you won't <br class=""> see the "Frankenstein" :) You just get the same PCB and controller <br class=""> chip.<br class=""></blockquote><br class="">Ah, understood. Sounds good!<br class=""><br class="">To me, "Frankenstein" means "things sticking out oddly" - so gaping <br class="">holes for things that _can_ stick out is indeed not, and bonus points if <br class="">covered up to not be "gaping" :-)<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1ex 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid #729fcf; padding-left: 1ex;"> I am also now thinking about placing components on both sides of the <br class=""> PCB to make it smaller than the original FST-01. This is a little more <br class=""> tricky for production, but if we build batches of let's say 10 or 12 <br class=""> it doesn't really matter.<br class=""></blockquote><br class="">I would appreciate a more compact design, even if adding a bit to <br class="">production costs (or waiting a bit longer for a larger batch to queue <br class="">up).<br class=""><br class=""> - Jonas<br class=""></pre></blockquote></div><br class="">
