Learn how to build a smart phone charger and fix PICkit 2 and 3 issues on Windows 10 in this comprehensive tutorial. Discover how to create a PCB that intelligently manages phone charging, stopping at a user-defined percentage and resuming when the battery drops to another specified level. Explore the Arduino sketch, Android app, PCB layout, and circuit diagram. Get insights on component selection, including the INA219 current sensor, HC-05 Bluetooth module, SSD1306 OLED display, and Arduino Pro Mini. See a live demonstration of the completed product and learn about using acrylic coasters as a case. Additionally, find out how to resolve PICkit 2 and 3 connectivity problems on Windows 10 with a step-by-step fix.
