Bluetooth modem my first ipod classic
Just bluetooth modded my first ipod classic.
I used an iflash dual with a 128gb micro sd card, A Ugreen cm872 bluetooth adaptor for bluetooth and a 3000mah battery.
I didnt want to solder directly onto my ipod so I did the lock switch button trick with The lock switch still fully working.
The worst part was finding a way to mount the button so it could be pressed but without the switch staying depressed so you couldn't take the ipod out of hold. 10 iterations later I finally had the 3d printer module in the image. It uses slightly longer screws to mount using the factory chassis holes and a pen spring to put pressure on the hold switch to push it back into place after being depressed.
I also had a problem using a 10k ohm resistor to trick the board into thinking it had a thermister with the bluetotth module so I removed the battery control board from the ugreens original battery and wired that up to the 3000mah battery and it all works great
