Robotics engineering student Ken Pillonel has followed up his USB-C iPhone mod with a modified pair of AirPods<\/a> with a USB-C port for charging \u2014 replacing Apple\u2019s proprietary Lightning port. Although the result is simple (USB-C cable goes in, power goes up), it was an engineering challenge that Pillonel says consumed \u201cpretty much all my weekends for a few months.\u201d It comes around a month after he completed a project that brought a Lightning port to an Android phone<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Pillonel plans to release a full-length video explaining the project in the coming weeks, but for now, he\u2019s put out a short clip showing his modded AirPods being charged with the same USB-C cable as a MacBook and his previously modded iPhone. He plans to open source the project like he did with the USB-C iPhone<\/a> for others to follow in his footsteps.<\/p>\n
