[NTLK] Dongle News

[Matthias Melcher]

Yay, I managed to solder another 10 dongles. If you are in the list, I will contact you in the order I received your requests, asking for a shipping address. If you are not on the list, EMail me, and I will add your name.

This is Version 5 and it features a better diode and a thermal fuse, improving the USB-C to Newton power supply. By my calculations, the dongle should now provide up to 1A of power to your Newton, at maximum about 90% of the power of your USB-C port. The plug is a little bit more sturdy, but as mentioned before, I am repurposing a plug by heavily modifying it.

Note that for U.S. friends, I can't send anything commercial (which this is not anyway), so I will declare the dongle as a gift and add a hand written note.

Please remeber that all dongles are hand made. Especially the connectors are filed to size and do not appear like an industrial product. They are a bit fragile, so please handle them with care. This is purely a hobby project. No guarantees, no warranties.
