[SGVHAK] Make your own pogo pin charging dock

[Lan Dang]

I think I have a 1st generation Nexus 7.  Part of the reason my friend wants to make a dock is because the microusb port is getting loose and they don't sell the charger/dock for her model any more.

I personally wouldn't mind a dock that was like a picture frame, so I can mount it on the wall, slip it in, and have it act like a picture/clock/whatever when I'm not actively using it.  This means I'd like to have a fairly long and unobtrusive power cord.

They took out the expose side pads on gen1 Nexus 7, but put in
induction charging for the 2nd gen.   Maybe we can do a simple
charging dock for crowdfunding.   It seems like everything is made for
iPads, it would nice to make one just for the Nexus 7.     Gen1 and
Gen2 Nexus 7 both use micro-USB as their charging interface.
