Tab5 Wall/Panel Mount
-
Hello I am thinking about creating a simple wall/panel mount for the Tab5. For power, I was planning to simply use the USB-C External Port on the back to provide power to the Tab 5. (Please see the attached image)
Questions:
- Does anyone know the type of connector used for the USB-C External Port? It doesn't appear to be a Grove (HY2.0-4P) cable from the photos...
- Does M5Stack sell an already made cable USB-C External Port cable with a Male USB-C connector?
Thanks!

I ended up making a PCB for this, I don't think the fine pitch connectors are sufficiently robust, so I connected to a simple PCB and then used a DC Jack plug on the board. MY 3D enclosure then mounts, via a laser cut plate to a UK double gang backbox

@scroggyg Thanks for the suggestion! I didn't think of that. I will put that as an option if no one knows what type of wired connector to use... Hopefully someone knows where to find one...
Also if you are looking for a screen protector for your Tab5, I created a simple design over the weekend and laser cut it out on a sheet of screen protector.
I have exported the design out into multiple file types so hopefully one of four files will work for people who may be interested in a screen protector for their Tab5.
Just be sure to be careful and take the necessary precautions when dealing with the fumes when cutting material with a Laser Cutter...
