The Great Search: Vertical USB Type C replacement for IKEA VINDRIKTING


Listen Later

This week we're working a bit with BlitzCityDIY on a project to replace the innards of a IKEA VINDRIKTING PM2.5 sensor (https://learn.adafruit.com/ikea-vindriktning-hack-with-qt-py-esp32-s3-and-adafruit-io) with our own board featuring an ESP32-S2 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/espressif-systems/ESP32-S2-MINI-2-N4R2/16591895) so that it can be IoTified with ease.
Ideally we will reuse the same enclosure - so we have to have matching connectors! The challenging one is the the vertical USB C, because we have very little clearance, so we need to find a near-exact match that doesn't have excess plastic. Otherwise, it won't fit into the case properly. Let's visit DigiKey to find a good match.
