georgii_ Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 I want to solder type c connector to latest evolv charger bypassing stock micro usb (lostvape epetite mod), and I found 4 pins under micro usb connector. If this pins are mirrored microusb connector pins (there is NO datasheat for charger)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayneo Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 That doesn't look like an Evolv 1A data/charging board to me. Mine shows 'Evolv' on the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgii_ Posted June 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 Thanx for reply. So I measured V on this pins and they shows about 3.1-3.2V under load, meanwhile pins on micro usb shows about 4.5V so it's not possible to do this way. The only thing is left - solder to pins of micro usb :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spector NS5 RD Posted June 14, 2018 Report Share Posted June 14, 2018 @georgii_ your easiest option is to go with what @retird posted. The other option would be to use something along the lines of this : https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-24pin-USB-Type-C-Male-Female-Plug-Socket-Connector-SMT-Type-w-PCB-1-Set-/311630199174 You would have to tap into the USB +5v, GND, Data + and Data - traces on the charger PCB. Lost Vape rolled their own 2 amp charging board, they didn't use the Evolv version. You would also have to make room for the USB C breakout board and widen the USB socket hole for the larger C socket. A lot of work for little to no gain, IMO. Why do you want a USB C connector instead of the micro USB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
