## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA2162:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA2162:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

If you have a modern smart phone you may have noticed that it comes with built in wireless charging capability called 'Qi charging.' Qi is a trademark name for a thin and smart inductive charging system. Many large gadget companies have standardized on Qi, which means it's easy to find a charging dish and Adafruit thought it might be cool if your Arduino project can recharge itself wirelessly.

Adafruit have added a ton of Qi receivers but, until now, Adafruit haven't had a charging base.No longer! This is a super simple Qi transmitter.It will work with any standard Qi charger receivers.You just connect the board to a 5v power supply - either through a micro USB port - then put your device w/ Qi receive onto the base. If you want to 'share' the microUSB power connection, you can also connect direct to the USB-A port

Maximum output is around 5W which is good for most smart phones, basically 1000mA charge at 5V on the other side of the wireless connection.It has a charging distance of 2-8mm, works with all Adafruit's Qi charge receivers. You can only use one receiver per transmitter so if you want to charge two Qi devices at once, you'll need 2 transmitters.

Note: PCB may come in blue or green!
