a lot of shaky paws later, this worked... up until i closed it and one of the pads ripped out...
no mind, i have about 4 or 5 other connectors to work with...
ugh this one is all potted
current body count
third one in this style and i still don't know how to open it without ruining the case
except this one doesn't have a pcb..
let's try the other one i have like that which is cleaner then (and the case is in clamshell style which is easily openable) and keep this as backup
as expected the cable without a pcb or resistors makes the iPod say it can't charge with it, but at least it works for super slow trickle charging and sync.
HOPE YOU LIKE HOT GLUE
lol never fucking mind i mustve messed something up because the computer won't see it
oh well no new music on my ipod
haha suck it
i used the other plug that i kept as backup and somehow that one works for charging and sync ???????
wonder if it has resistors hidden inside it
@maple sneaky resistors hiding away in the cable
oh wait no i took so long soldering i forgot what i actually did
i didn't swap the 30pin connector, i swapped the usb cable with another one with better shielding?
eh i don't understand how these cables work anymore
had to resolder everything a couple of times because wires kept breaking but here's the final result, finally
and with just as much hot glue as the previous iteration
@maple the hot glue is an important aesthetic feature
@maple !! Congrats!
do i just try swapping d+ and d-? i followed the other plug's wiring but maybe that one had white and green reversed who knows
