Thanks for the reply!

I found something but it’s not ideal. search.digikey.com/us/en/product … -ND/439635 is a couple mm too short in the vertical dimension, and a little too big in the largest dimension. More generally, if you had or made a purpose-built case with all the right cutouts for ports and controls, it’d make it a lot easier to turn the parts into a finished device.

Yeah, that’s what I mean. Thanks!

Unfortunately I think it’s a little more complex than that. Even though the device can provide ~1A, an iOS device won’t pull that amount, or might not even charge at all if the data pins are floating. I know that the Rider Pro isn’t marketed as a dedicated iOS device charger, but I wonder if you wouldn’t mind putting some resistors there (in a future rev) for increased compatibility, assuming it doesn’t break compatibility with other devices. The values required for 1A charging, and a general description are available at ladyada.net/make/mintyboost/icharge.html

Any rough ETA on the mini version? E.g. 3 months, 6 months, or is it not on the radar/roadmap yet?

There seems to be a lot of unused real estate on the Rider Pro board. Would it be possible to add some through-hole pads for modders to more easily add switches, batteries, etc. without desoldering the existing components? It will likely help make it easier to integrate into a custom enclosure if separate switches could be more easily integrated with the board. On a related note, was the K2 switch put on the long side for a specific reason? It seems like there’s room for K2 on the same side as the power switch and power out port, and it makes sense thematically and may again help making enclosure integration easier.
Thanks again for your support. I know I’m making a lot of requests. Hopefully they’re reasonable!
