Stylus for Pocket CHIP

thingiverse

I designed this stylus for my Pocket CHIP to complement my PC revival project. Since some touch areas on my PC are small or very close to the bezel, I needed a stylus that could reach them easily. A simple resistive touchscreen like mine requires a basic stylus that works efficiently. After seeing a similar design online at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2252715, I was inspired by its ideas but wanted something different for my needs. My first concern was the attachment point; attaching it to the back wouldn't work since I use the USB port and it blocks it. Moreover, simply mirroring the design wouldn't be feasible because I've soldered a header to my GPIO pins, making the shape interfere with the original design. Finally, using the lanyard is essential for me, but the clip used in the other design fouled the lanyard by occupying the entire triangular hole. Given these constraints, it's time to create a new stylus that meets my specific requirements and enhances my Pocket CHIP experience.
