I'm trying to build the travel charger you show in the picture above. I bought the connector and I have all the necessary supplies, and the pinout from:
http://pinouts.ru/Devices/ipod_pinout.shtml
but the only thing I've managed to do so far is make the ipod screen go black. Is it as simple as soldering one wire to ground the other to the a power input or is there a step I'm missing? I tried many different combinations of the grounds and power inputs listed while hooked up to a power supply, and none of the combos make the little guy charge. I have an old 10GB ipod. Any suggestions?
