Logitech M555B charging dock part 2

Quick simulation to see if theory for the charge indication works

Voltage levels seems to be ok

PCB for the chraging circuit

3D view helps with the PCB design (for clearances)

Voltage drop over diode 1N4001 connected to base-emitter on BC549 lights the LED when docking mouse completes the circuit.

 

mock-up before making the PCB

Proof of concept for the voltage drop sensing BC549

PCB completed

the circuit fits snuggly inside the compartment
