mortDoes anyone understand why this USB-C PD AC adapter (left) can't charge this USB-C PD power bank (right)? They both claim 5V, 9V and 15V at 3A plus 20V at 2.25A, shouldn't they be able to agree on at least one of those?
I don't mean the power bank charges slowly FWIW, I mean it doesn't charge *at all*. Though it lights up to indicate it's powered. The AC adapter powers everything else just fine and the power bank can charge from other things just fine.
Alexis KrierI was testing a mini module (CKCS U1E 65w) for USB charging from a DC source to many USB C protocols.
I've noticed with "vooc" charge at 9v 3.3A the inductor's module is at 90°c
A bit high moreover if it has an enclosure as this one:

With this refurbished adhesive heat sink it falls at 60°c
RommudohAfter #soldering the adapter boards, I opened up the #ThinkPad 755C to test fit them. There I noticed that I had the polarity wrong. Since the barrel jack can't be easily turned around, the choice of which version to use was made. I had to solder the third time with the USB-C PD trigger board upside down. Now it's soldered in the laptop and works fine!

Since the #powersupply for my #IBM #ThinkPad 755C doesn't work reliably and uses a very strange connector, I unsoldered the socket from the internal board. It came on a handy mini #PCB, which I reengineered in @kicad for a barrel jack. It also has connections for a 20V USB-C PD trigger board that I had lying around.
The boards were manufactured by @aislerhq and fit perfectly. Only the barrel jack was a bit tight since I had to smallen the holes a bit to place it on the board.
Now I just have to decide which to solder back into the #laptop. Will have to try which fits better inside the hole.

ctrg195Don’t Buy a Laptop if It Doesn’t Have Two USB-C Ports
"- Always look for laptops with two USB-C Power Delivery ports for redundancy and flexibility.
- Avoid laptops with a single USB-C PD port to prevent expensive repairs if the port fails.
- Check the laptop's specifications to confirm both USB-C ports support Power Delivery before buying."

froqstarProject #minirack is done :)
The goal was to have a nice "living room capable" 10" rack to hold my #homeasssitant box with a touch display for smart home control, a network switch and a UPS.
And no it is not living in the livingroom now, nor was it planned ;) I could have moved the network wiring to the back/inside, but in the end it needed a little nerd factor.
Mostly made from laser cut plywood in #kumiko pattern that I spray painted black, and some 3D printed parts. All self designed/built except for the metal rails in the corners.
And did I mention it's ALL powered by USB-C PD internally? 😍

Moof!No, laptop, don’t try to power yourself off my iPhone. You have power coming in on the other power port… be a good boy and charge my iPhone too… #USBCPD
Clemens aka dataAre there any open USB-C PD implementations or configurable trigger chips that also support setting USB-C Alt-Mode (DP) setting?
I'm looking to get a device to not request PD but still enable alt-mode on the link.
