thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah thatubuntuguy#5914: yeh i know my dad bought a super cheap 10000mah power bank, i tore it down and it had 3.7v 4000mah cells thatubuntuguy#5914: :OmegaxD: thatubuntuguy#5914: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NBQX0O5 TheGeekster#8508: https://powerbankinsider.com/can-you-charge-a-power-bank-while-...
JustinXenyx#8854: Isn't it super redundant to charge a power bank while using it? thatubuntuguy#5914: no because the power bank's insides are going inside the laptop thatubuntuguy#5914: and it should behave like a traditional battery thatubuntuguy#5914: hold on a second... @TheGeekster TheGeekster#8508: unfortunately u...
thatubuntuguy#5914: coulomb counter TheGeekster#8508: this is getting more and more unfeasible 😂 thatubuntuguy#5914: i actually made a basic schematic thatubuntuguy#5914: but it didnt have the coulomb counter thatubuntuguy#5914: and that can allow for passthrough because its my pcb JustinXenyx#8854: I'd recommend mayb...
thatubuntuguy#5914: i've seen him work thatubuntuguy#5914: he's fucking good TheGeekster#8508: i was on board with the project before as it was putting compatible parts together, but as soon as you start custom making pcb's? that is sure for disaster thatubuntuguy#5914: just wait until u hear the plans for the keyboard...
thatubuntuguy#5914: *3a JustinXenyx#8854: I mean, from what i've seen his mini computer and screen all should operate from 5V power thatubuntuguy#5914: ^ thatubuntuguy#5914: everything operates on 5v thatubuntuguy#5914: i just input 5v from the brick into the pc thatubuntuguy#5914: it goes into my pcb and it charges th...
thatubuntuguy#5914: i've visited texas instruments site before thatubuntuguy#5914: there are ics that can handle 3a charging thatubuntuguy#5914: but what i don't know is how it behaves when i employ a passthrough type thing thatubuntuguy#5914: and if i make a custom pcb its peace of mind that i know that it for sure ha...
thatubuntuguy#5914: which is why i was going to put another battery behind the screen thatubuntuguy#5914: but will it need balancing if i use a second cell JustinXenyx#8854: Yes it will thatubuntuguy#5914: okay JustinXenyx#8854: I do think it's getting a bit too complicated for you tbh thatubuntuguy#5914: okay, right l...
TheGeekster#8508: what protection features do you want in the laptop? thatubuntuguy#5914: overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit thatubuntuguy#5914: under voltage thatubuntuguy#5914: perhaps temperature as well if possible thatubuntuguy#5914: the ti ics have these protections TheGeekster#8508: you want everything from...
TheGeekster#8508: that's hobbyist power TheGeekster#8508: if you want more, contact an OEM thatubuntuguy#5914: if this similar thing was available for 3a thatubuntuguy#5914: or even 2a and i can power limit the board TheGeekster#8508: I'm pretty sure what you're asking is beyond the scope of this discord tbh, we aren't...
TheGeekster#8508: QTY: "1ku" ONE THOUSAND UNITS minimum order thatubuntuguy#5914: wait what thatubuntuguy#5914: aren't there like chinese retailers like jlpcn TheGeekster#8508: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545181464363401216/619852539210235915/unknown.png thatubuntuguy#5914: *jlpcb and they can sell it in sm...
thatubuntuguy#5914: which i've hand soldered TheGeekster#8508: which is the problem, you aren't trying to tackle a single problem at a time, you're trying to create a finished item without the practise and knowledge of the individual building blocks thatubuntuguy#5914: good point thatubuntuguy#5914: actually you're rig...
thatubuntuguy#5914: okay thatubuntuguy#5914: i have two 18650 cells thatubuntuguy#5914: from a different power bank thatubuntuguy#5914: will that be okay thatubuntuguy#5914: btw the clone comes with a 5v 3a power brick thatubuntuguy#5914: @TheGeekster what i still can't find online is how to report to windows thatubunt...

Communication can be done over USB and the device has also SMBUS reporting capability. Windows detects OpenUPS as Battery and automatically shows battery in the system tray." that...
thatubuntuguy#5914: i know thatubuntuguy#5914: okay, so there should be just the chip communicating over usb directly with the battery api TheGeekster#8508: though tbh the latte panda is like the BMW of the SBC world lol, it's pretty high up there thatubuntuguy#5914: no windows firmware right thatubuntuguy#5914: hold o...
TheGeekster#8508: they have a built in arduino onboard 🤔 could interact with the i2c TheGeekster#8508: but anyway, maybe let's start more basic, USB UPS, able to provide power while charging, without reporting to windows yet thatubuntuguy#5914: how does i2c actually work thatubuntuguy#5914: is it like mipi as in its a...

TheGeekster#8508: not ideal, as soon as you start combining multiple cell types together, you need individual charging circuits TheGeekster#8508: it's best to use matched, so that a charge circuit knows what it's charging, and can balance them together thatubuntuguy#5914: fair enough thatubuntuguy#5914: im asking bc im...
thatubuntuguy#5914: yeah i just saw thatubuntuguy#5914: i need a management thing with balancing thatubuntuguy#5914: i can't use a separate circuit thatubuntuguy#5914: @TheGeekster right so i did a little sketch on paper of what i kinda want out of my pcb thatubuntuguy#5914: so ill need a charging ic, protection ic, bo...
thatubuntuguy#5914: hmm upon closer inspection of the data sheet thatubuntuguy#5914: ok it makes more sense now thatubuntuguy#5914: basically the system output is at like 3.5v or smth (programmable) so i can output that into my boost converter and then feed it into the pc thatubuntuguy#5914: so i don't need any stupid ...
