Everything but the iPhone 5

Post by iswanb »

I assembled my MintyBoost v3 today. I'm new to DIY electronics, but the project went together fairly easily and all my solders look good. I don't see any solder bridges, obvious shorts, or missed connections.

I throttled everything up and the MintyBoost will charge my BlackBerry Bold and my iPad 2 using the adafruit 3-way charging cable. However, it won't charge my iPhone 5. I haven't shorted the data pins yet because the BlackBerry works. I wondered if anyone might have an idea as to where I went astray. I'm using new Duracell AAs.

Thanks so much,
