Hi,
Magnetic charging no longer works. I hope you didn't do it on purpose. The dock still ça not be bought and even when it does, it will be very expensive for someone living in Europe. Shipping costs and taxes are very high. It has become inaccessible. Please tell me this is a bug.
Thank you.

I don't think we've changed anything on our end, and it's working for me on my dock. Can you check the connection by measuring the voltage across the front of those screws?

I checked on my dock, I have 5V output from the 2 right terminals. The contact with the console is correct. I don’t understand what’s going on.
Hello. What is this sorcery please? I did not know playdate could charge wirelessly, and this seems to be a custom 3d printed dock, is there a schematic or specifications somewhere?
Not really wirelessly, 2 right screw can take 5v charge by contact.

Hi guys! I just printed my own dock, but my Playdate doesn’t charge. I even tested with a different USB cable and touching the right side screws with the bare cables (positive and negative or ground), but it doesn’t work. Does wireless charging have been turned off in the latest firmware or something?
EDIT: I tested with a multimeter today, and both right screws are receiving around 5v, so it’s definitely my Playdate not charging wirelessly. And it’s the first time I try this way. It charges normally when wired.
