The FitBit has a dent close to the metal connections, and we’ll make a small bump on our strip that can fit the dent. Since its important that we have both the conductors attached at the same time we need to find a way to place them right. We also want to mark the strip and the FitBit for the cables, and red is for power (phase conductor), while green and yellow combo conductor is for ground (North US and Europe as far as I know). The strip has to be taped in place for charging. The two cables should not make contact, and they have to both be connected before we plug the charger in whatever will deliver the power.įirst we make a strip that will be the charger itself. We need to connect the red cable to the + connector on the FitBit One, and ground- to well, ground. If you split a USB cable you will see four tiny cables: On the right the one that needs to be supplied with power, to the left the ground connector is. The FitBit One uses a standard Micro USB charger, those chargers delivers 5V. A portable charger is pretty sweet as well, and those can be quite cheap to purchase and make a good travel companion for the FitBit. I also recommend using a USB charger and not the USB port on your computer in case you blow the port. Used:Įlectrical tape (two colors, but you can use a marker for color) I used a USB cord and electrical tape, although I have that at home I purchased the items to check the price, it cost me 10USD. I wanted to make a charger I could reuse and make out of what I had at home. Images for that one is at the end of the post, please choose method one ) My first attempt, the prototype- was a very nasty hack (but worked). Re-cutting an old VGA cable to fit both a HDMI and VGA cable on my laptop (Asus X53 (X53SK-SX028V) for two external monitors One of my most popular posts is actually a DIY, it’s this one: The wait sucks more than the money.Īnd I have a thing for DIY. So what do I do? Well, I didn’t want to fork out for 30$ for a new one, I wanted it charged *NOW*. Also, I lost the Bluetooth device, but I never log in anyway. This was created in a moment of despair ) I’m not an electrician, have no formal education whatsoever, and if you try this you and nobody else is responsible for whatever happens.
