I honestly consider them to be a consumable.

The ones I’ve used always get splashes of solder, flux and other uncleanable things onto them at some point. If it gets too much, I’ll switch to a new one.

That’s actually a great video, no-ideal opamp characteristics have caused me a lot of headaches on multiple occasions in the past.

A regular USB-C hub would be an idea, but may not work with regular chargers…

Then this is not safe.

The maximum charge voltage for a lithium cell is 4.2V while USB will provide 5V. It may work for a while, it may fail in a safe state or something gets hot and burns.

Pretty much this, thanks for the summary

I have one of those, it may pass as the great grandfather ;)

They actually renamed the types which makes everything even more confusing

Yeah, unfortunately fast data and fast charging are two independent characteristics…

The thing is from Austria though?

To add to that, it also measures Vbus resistance as well as a continuity and short circuit test on all pins. This sorts out all problems with broken or overspeced cables.

Pretty much. I’m not even sure if regular USB ports can talk to pins individually, let alone test them for shorts.

Interesting, I just uploaded the .mp4 directly to lemmy and assumed this to be working. How else would you share a gif/short video?

Not sure what else, but the thing can tell you if a cable is USB2.0, USB3.0/3.1/… or just for charging.

I could design and produce a small batch of those adaptors.

Would anyone be interested in getting a prototype and helping to test it?

You’re 100% right, I’ve lost ‘i’ somewhere in my debugging process

byte upper_byte = input_bin >> (8+i) ; byte lower_byte = (input_bin >> i) & 0x00FF;

Good idea, I’ve tried usleep after all lines, but no change…

You’re probably right, but that should only change the order of the outputs right?
