ispindel hardware in rapt pill container

I have managed to fit an ispindel inside a rapt pill housing, In south Africa the ispindel housing is difficult to get whilst the rapt pill is easy, I purchased 5 cherry Phillips v3.2 boards and reshaped them, just got enough off either side to fit them in the housing without damaging any tracks although it is a fairly tight fit with the battery in a housing.
I also made two additions to the build and used the gravitymon software. first mod was to fit wireless charging as it it's problematic to open and close the container due to the o rings although these are good and make the unit a good pressure tight device they are difficult to open and close even when lubricated. the other mod is a magnetic reset to avoid having to Open for calibration and maintenance.
one side of the pcb had more removed than the other owing to the presence of tracks.

here is my build for the magnetic reset, I used a drv5032FA which is push pull, a drv5032FC is open drain and more suitable if available but this worked for me with a schottky diode in series with the output to prevent loading the device with reset and wake-up. I mounted the device on a sop 10pin to dip adaptor board for strength and stability then trimmed it to size.​

this is my magnetic charging device, I considered it essential addition for the use of a rapt pill housing as they are difficult to open and close, wether it is useful or adaptable to a ispindel tube I don't know as I haven't got one to test. the rapt pill does have a magnetic charging unit of the shelf but it it's a little pricy compared to my design. some effort is required to make and fit it though.
first the coil should be detached from the pc board which comes with it, mark the pad which connects to the center of the coil. the coil center is too small to fit over the raised section at the bottom of the rapt pill tube so 4 turns need pulling carefully out of the center of the coil, first fit the sticky pad which comes with it to the side without the return wire, the turns are then pulled out and need winding back over the existing coil I get 3 turns back on the coil which suffices, they need winding back on flat and holding down with contact adhesive one turn at a time and then back to outside of the coil. I then cover the coil with super glue and sprinkle bicarbonate of soda over the glue, this gives it strength and rigidity without interfering with the coils performance. once done the center needs cutting out of the coil backing pad. I then take 2 round 3M double sided sticky pads to build it up then carefully stick it to the battery box so it aligns with the raised rum at the bottom of the pill tube, it needs to be able to rotate freely. the rapt pill kegland site had a good tutorial on the procedure for attaching.
the board can now be reattached same as it was previously, heat shrink covering is a good addition to the board, the board I purchased has two outputs on at 4.2V to charge the battery directly which would allow the omission of the tp4056, I chose to use the other output of 5V and not influence the balance any more than necessary. this should then be connected to the input of the tp4056 either directly or via a 2 pin header male female combination.

This is good work!

I like the iSpindel, but the weak point is the petling lid, as it's designed more to keep liquid inside than outside. Being able to stick it in the pill housing is really good.
