sorta experimenting with what would be useful as a add-on for QT Py’s – first up is a switchable LiPoly battery charger. i guess this could be used to make a wireless QT Py that can battery charge. one thing is that you do need a spacer between the QT and BFF because otherwise the battery plug will interfere mechanically. but, we don’t want it on the other end, away from the power supply pins and overlapping with an antenna. so we’ll try this out! we are still calling the add-ons “BFF” for now, fits on the board, but we also like “nuggets” and “sprinkles” …

The form factor now kinda reminds me of my favorite esp8266 boards, the D1 mini.
