Idk, but Iām upvoting both of you
alright thatās how Iām renaming all my vbuses in Kicad including the silkscreen from now on

i found a power adapter in my closet last week that had itās barrel jack cut off and instead had two wires exposed and had āworks for fansā labeled on it lolā¦ no idea why I did that
You probably did it to make it work with fans or something idk
OnlyFans? NotComputers?
Thatās kinda what I did to use a computer fan as a normal fan. I got one of these power adapters that let you pick a voltage, cut off the plug at the end of the cable, cut off the plug on the fanās cable, and connected the two. Maybe thatās a dumb way to do it, but itās about as expensive and definitely quieter than getting a proper fan to blow air at my plants so their stems and branches grow strong
This is literally what PD triggers do. They negotiate high power in place of the device, and dump it on Vbus without checking
Whatās the point of that?
Powering a device thatās designed for a simple barrel jack or 12V battery from a type-c power supply.
Most trigger devices Iāve seen have barrel jacks or positive and negative terminals as their output, so they donāt technically dump high voltage on Vbus, the output side isnāt USB.
Iāve seen a lot that are targeted to misbehaving devices, or proprietary charging standards.
For example, you have a charger with Qualcommās old fast charge, and a phone with Samsungās, so you use a trigger to negotiate the Qualcommās setting equivalent to Samsungās and you get fastcharge.
Thereās also stuff like fnirsiās usb tester, which can trigger fast charge for (you guessed it) testing.
I have an obscure piece of hardware that refuses to negotiate the required power from a power bank I know can handle it. Can I fix it with a lil board like this?!
Depends on the decide and the power bank?? (why are we vagueposting?)
I just didnāt know this is was a thing, the device is a Pine II controller from Black Forest Motion, which should take 10ā24V DC via USBC. Power bank is capable of 12V but doesnāt seem to want to negotiate.
Maybe your controller supports only 10 or 24 and not 12 š¤·. Iām not sure if thatās a thing.
It lets you replace a wall wart with USB-C. I have a Bluetooth speaker which uses a 20 volt 2 amp wall plug which is fucking massive and eats up enough space for at least 3 outlets, regardless of the orientation of the plug. Now itās just USB-C powered thanks to a $2 little circuit board, so I can use anything which outputs 20 volts. If Iām so inclined, I can even hook it up to a USB battery bank.
I fukken love me a good USB PD trigger board.
Is this a Nintendo Switch meme?
I canāt stand these USBC cords and now these USBC flash drives are a thing. They end up being a 2-n-1 or you gotta buy ANOTHER adapter for the USBC or whatever needs to be attach to it in order to work. Its just more money for extra work. š®āšØššš
