The squarish board with two chips on it is the transmitter (power with 9V).  The longer board is the output and you can connect that to the part of your project that needs powering. Inductive charging is a way of powering a device without a direct wire connection. Most people have seen inductive charging in a rechargable electric toothbrush: you may have noticed that you recharge it by placing it into the holder, but there's...

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 we thought it might be cool if your Arduino project can recharge itself wirelessly. We've added a ton of Qi receivers...

You may have seen those fancy Android people with wireless charging built into their phones. Wouldn't it be nice if your iPhone 5 could do the same? With this snap-on sleeve, you can! Once plugged into your phone, you can use any Qi charging plate (we picked up one from our local cell phone shop). Just place the phone on the plate to recharge your phone. The case is smooth and sleek and will look great on your iPhone. It doesn't come...

Inductive charging is a way of powering a device without a direct wire connection. Most people have seen inductive charging in a rechargeable electric toothbrush: you may have noticed that you recharge it by placing it into the holder, but there's no direct plug. These chargers work by taking a power transformer and splitting it in half, an AC waveform is generated into one, and couples into the second coil. This is a basic charger set, and...
