I decided to upgrade from the ferris sweep that I built not too long ago to a wireless chocofi. I did some quick maths and saw that it would be cheaper for me to order the parts myself rather that buying a kit online, and as my parts have been coming I decided to check on the PCB. I used the gerber from https://github.com/pashutk/chocofi when placing my order, and the image on the github page shows a chocofi with a battery (I assume its wireless.) but looking at the gerber file I dont see a space on the board for an on off switch? I am new to wireless builds and have been trying to find resources online but wasnt able to find much at all. Any insights would be appreciated, thanks!
I build Chocofi pcbs from this fork. https://github.com/beta-tank/chocofi/tree/power-switch. Power switch and battery connector are working, but: * power switch is placed under the usb port. If you are using magnetic cables, then it’s hard to flip it with fingers/nails. Usually I’m using the pen. * JST-XH battery connector (90 degrees) and wires cover OLED display pads.
Nothing I could say will be more thorough than this.
