Wireless Charger

Hey, I'm a complete beginner to Arduino and programming in general and I was trying to build a wireless charger transmitter and wire some LEDs to it as well. I was planning on using a Sparkfun Arduino Pro Mini 328 but I was having trouble finding a QI charging module that I could wire into the Arduino board. Would anyone have recommendations for a board that would be of decent quality to charge a phone? Also, I was wondering how I would set up the program so that if a current was drawn through the QI Charger (phone was placed on it), then the LEDs would be turned on (a separate pin) as well as make it so that if I press a button I can turn the LEDs on and off as well.

Sorry for asking a ton in this post, but any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

What is a wireless charger? Charging by using Ir, Rf or what?

Post a system design drawing to explain what You have in mind.

You may be able to hack one of these...Power, Inductive Chargers Products Category on Adafruit Industries Their item 2162 can charge a phone and even has a little LED that you may be able to mess with. It turns on when current is being drawn.

Try googling "Q1 charger" I found a lot of them in the first few hits. Again I used google with "q1 charger receiver module" and found several in the first few hits. I would suggest you become friends with google or your favorite search engine. While you are at it look for tutorials on basic electronics and Arduino.
