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?

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
it wont collect dust if its melted down into a soda bottle
😦
uhh
