I wonder if we can build/design one with multiple plugs so that <br /> one-fits-all.<br /></blockquote> <br /> Uhm, I withdraw my promise to buy one, until I understand if it is <br /> gonna be a frankenstein model: I would want something sensible to <br /> survive carrying in a pocket (and the pocket surviving that too).<br /></blockquote><br /> It looks as if the thing can be designed for three different positions <br /> for different USB connectors. The standard USB at one end, the µUSB at <br /> the other and the Mini-USB (GTA04) perpendicular to the board surface <br /> so that it does not stick much away from the GTA04 body. It is like I <br /> already do it for the Qi-Charger.<br /> <br /> There is no need to install them all three in parallel, so you won't <br /> see the "Frankenstein" :) You just get the same PCB and controller <br /> chip.<br /></blockquote><br />Ah, understood. Sounds good!<br /><br />To me, "Frankenstein" means "things sticking out oddly" - so gaping <br />holes for things that _can_ stick out is indeed not, and bonus points if <br />covered up to not be "gaping" :-)<br /><br /><br /><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 /> PCB to make it smaller than the original FST-01. This is a little more <br /> tricky for production, but if we build batches of let's say 10 or 12 <br /> it doesn't really matter.<br /></blockquote><br />I would appreciate a more compact design, even if adding a bit to <br />production costs (or waiting a bit longer for a larger batch to queue <br />up).<br /><br /> - Jonas<br /></pre></blockquote></div><br>
