#9 Making USB-C deliver 5V

UPDATE: I figured out the reason that one cable is not working: the usb-c connector I'm using has CC1 and CC2 lines shorted together, so you have to cut one of them off and solder its own resistor. Video update: https://youtu.be/_ZPFp-FdBVY TL;DW: cut the connection between CC1 and CC2, then add a separate 5.1k resistor to CC2. USB-C cables/devices are complicated. This was my attempt to simplify one aspect: how to get 5V from a usb-c cable. I bought these connectors on AliExpress. Out of the box they only work with USB A to USB C cables, so they require some modifications before you can use a pure USB type C cable with them. ------------------------- Affiliate links: USB-C connectors: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AY5Aws Resistors that will fit: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A2HecM
