Chopped a Poundland USB cable so that the MAX471 can measure the current passing through it. I'm a bit worried about the thinness and the small number of strands of wire being used to charge a phone.

I have a USB charger that outputs directly to a male micro USB - it does not provide a female USB port to plug this into. So I've exapanded the range of charging options this will support

I'll be able to plug my USB charger into the female micro USB breakout. And I can plug a USB-C charge cable into the female USB port - I recycled this from a broken Powerbank.
