So im building a jewelry cleaning box that will clean jewelry with vibrations while sitting inside cleaning solution. I need help sourcing the right parts or at least the correct terminology so I can find them on the internet.
I was going to attach a USB, DC & Solar Lipoly Charger similar to the one below in the HTML. only thing does this DC circuit board have the pin holes to attach a 3.0 volt vibrator motor to it and a on/off switch ?

I want to make a few of these also, so I want to buy in bulk the lithium batteries, the usb female plug, the Solar Cell, the circuit boards so Id like to know the correct terms for what solar cells and circuit boards to look for the rest of the stuff I can find.
What type of Solar cells do I need to purchase and what ends do they need to have on them so I can plug into the circuit board. I researched solar sells and all I can really find are ones that are used for houses.
For the circuit boards, is there a multi use circuit board I can buy in bulk to solder multi attachments to it, such as 1. the solar cell, 2. the battery, 3. the usb so people can plug into a house hold power outlet when no sun is out, the vibrator motor to shake the cleaning solution and the ON/OFF switch.
We currently don’t offer the USB / DC / Solar Lithium Ion/Polymer charger, therefore we can’t support or provide more information than already provided in the tutorial. We also don’t offer solar panels.
However, seeing the product’s page on Adafruit, the USB / DC / Solar Lithium Ion/Polymer charger seems to have an output for a load, for example in your case to drive a small vibration DC motor.
The MCP73871 chip on the USB / DC / Solar Lithium Ion/Polymer charger has a smart load sharing feature. From the tutorial of Adafruit :
Therefore, you should be able to drive a mini vibration motor 3V-6V if you are using a 6V solar panel. You can add a switch (connected in series to the “LOAD” output of the board). If the battery is still charging, the motor will be directly powered through either the USB or the solar panel (the device with which you are charging the battery). If the current required is higher than what the panel or USB port can provide, the current is supplemented by the lipo battery, up to 1.8A.
The solar panel should have a 2.1mm DC jack plug.
