While waiting for the supernote pogo pin diy guide, figured I would solder myself a little light.

I read some where you could short two of the Pogo pins, and the third would give you 5V, however, not to ruin my new device, I decided to do it on 2x 1,5V batteries.

I do a lot of reading on the device, and I have to say, I miss a backlight.

Parts:

• 2 × 1,5V batteries + holder
• 3 × red Ieds, 2 × yellow leds
• 5 × resistors (1 would be enough)
• 3 × neodyme magnets
• foam, wire, glue

Its a bit on the heavy side. Using the supernote battery would indeed be preferable in the long run. Gives off a nice light!

Simple schematic and more pictures below.

Edit: Lemmy won’t let me add photos for now, will try again later… Edit: Worked.
