Qi charging

Post by McGyver » Mon Oct 08, 2018 5:44 pm

Just a question in precautions to people here that already experienced the qi charging:

Can I charge the Gameboy (Circuit Sword) when the Pi is running? Or did this will cause any malfunction or damage maybe components of the Pi or board?

The QI charging is the same as the wired charging so charge and play should be fine. Seems kind of counter productive to do so though

Thank you KonnorJ. I know that play on the inductor coil would be quite unconfortable. My question was more linked to some maybe unwanted inducted current into the board conponents and Pi during charge and running it. I will try carefully to near the Gameboy to the Pi during it runs and see what happens.

Update: everythings works now, nothing is burning! QI charging installed. I know it is not the best solution for charging but just too cool to have this feature. ;-)
