Trackclip Pro Wireless Mod

[BumBumSale]

Hi,

i got one of these small Solar thingies from a friend as a gift and tested it for this. It works great for the Trackclip Pro to make it "wireless"...Tried it to recharge my mobilephone with it but it doesn`t work, so took it for my Trackclippro and G930 to make the whole thing "wireless".

Something like this, there are alot of those things around to buy, the cheapest ones should do the job great for ur purpose:

http://www.amazon.de/August-SPC-1500...366462&sr=1-15

Works great even in a completely dark room with only ur Monitor as a light source...wondered myself why, but it still produces energy to keep it working...

U even don`t need the Solarcells to look into the Lightsource, my one is looking straight up and still works fine...

It`s small and easy fix on the G930...

- its cheap
- no recharging because of Solar
- works even with minimum light and produces more then enough energy
- not heavy
- no batteries needed because the light is ur energy source
- Works perfectly for the Trackclip pro

Just a hind, give it a try, it´s maybe the cheapest try to get all this to work how u want - "wireless"...

Cheers BBS

Interesting not sure if it will work in the grey uk

So you charge it up and it slowly recharges itself when in use, can you turn it off an on?

No, no there is no On or OFF and NO CHARGING needed.

It starts producing Energy when it gets hitted by any lightsource and stops producing when no light - that Easy. U can charge it if u want to to use it as an small akku or energy source, sure, but u don`t need to charge it!


It works automatic if u want say it so. No recharging needed! The energy produced by any smal llightsource is enough for ur trackclip pro to make the LEDs work! So u will never ever have to charge it! so easy is it
. Its like the solarcells an Houses, they just produce energy when they get light. So the small solarthing is perfectly for that because a small lightsource is eneough to start making that amount of energy u need for the Leds to shine.

Its a cheap solution, try it for a few pounds, if it not works (it will) u can still buy a expensive duracell Battery like in ur first link up there, but that one is overkill for ur Trackclippro...It`s like u have a 1000 Watt Powersupply for ur Pentium 1 with 150 Mghz...

They sell the solar charger here Krupi, maybe you could give it a go and report back!

Hi,

i have left the wire like it was (extreme long), just rolled it together as small as possible and it works good. I don`t even notice it anymore. A little bit wire tie (those small plastic ties are great tho press the cabel together) does it well



But i am thinking of cutting it completely away to the smal length i need from Trackclip to Solarthing. I would also then cut away the USB Adapter witch i dont need anymore. Should everything come to maybe 7-10 cm Kabel in the end.. I will see.

I am just not sure if i would damage something but dont think so. Its just shortening and welding...

But how i said, at the moment i even don`t notice it because its not heavy and because of good Ducktaping and wire tie not wobbling or shaking around to nerv me...

Cheers m8

you have convinced me, got some Velcro as well.

Thanks for the advise.

Btw have you cut the trackclip cable back or just tucked it away?

Thanks again.
