I always thought blue was standard for 3.0

exactly

Orange and green aren't tho

they make a USB 2.0 hub and use blue ports

so you buy it thinking it's 3.0

gotta be careful with $2 chargers, they are not always safe

Yo nigs

Anybody knows a cheap bluetooth module that can place phone calls via bluetooth?

Here's a little scheme of what I am planning to do

I've considered the RN52, but it would bump up the price of the project quite a bit

@Magnets very interesting. I own 2 of those exact chargers. But as for it not being able to sustain a QC load for upwards of an hour without thermal issues is somewhat of a moot point, since your phone will be finished charging within that time, no?

you building yourself a carphone?

uh

i think you might be able to do something via a bt module and a voice assistant

nope, i acquired a spare Beocom but the pcb is busted, and I want to make something useful out of it

<:alithink:327930371796893698> are you unable to use Google assistant, Bixby, Siri, Alexa, etc to place calls? I guess I don't understand what your use case is

@Windatica It would be good, but there are 20 keys begging to be used

<:pepestressed:327933525124841482> wot

It's a project for the sake of a project?

so you want to be cool retro telephone man?

Basically

This is the fucker

making a telephone an accessory for your cell phone, what a world we live in

alright but how often do you actually make phonecalls

he wants to use the keypad on the phone

but jsut have it talk to his cell to make the connection

It's more of an exercise on designing a good looking PCB

it seems like you are jsut making it less convienient

to call people

The use case would be me leaving the smartphone charging in another room away from my desk, and answering/placing phone calls via the modded beocom

is this jsut a convoluted scheme to get you to stop playing candy crush all day?

this sounds like an overengineered solution to a non-existant problem

just bring the charger in the same room as you

@Billy Yum Yum Two-By-Two more or less, yeah

or use a bluetooth speaker

but jokes aside, I really want to do something with that phone other than collecting dust, and since we don't even have a POTS line, I thought to give this idea a shot

you could always just throw it in the garbage
