UCB-C Power To Pigtail Cable
It would be very nice (maybe I missed it) to have a USB-C power cable that terminates into plain wires, for connection to any power source. This would be a nice feature of integrating the OEM version.
A lot of those are on the market but limited to 5V since USB needs some intelligence for higher voltages: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/265832/how-does-usb-power-delivery-work-with-voltages-above-5v-without-damaging-5v-peri
USB C standard is 5V with max 3A so a total 15W.
The SPECTRAN V6 follows the PD USB standards.
You can use any USB PD compatible circuit to drive the SPECTRAN V6.
Quote from CorNic East on 09/05/2022, 20:36So, is the SpectranV6 using the default (5V @ 1A) or one of the other "profiles"?
For full functionality you need to provide USB-PD 3.0 9V @ 3A.
I will add this to the hardware request section, but wanted to state it on this thread;
It would be good for the OEM version of the V6 (and above) to get power from a brick, making it even easier to integrate. I would recommend to implement a locking type of connector. It's a waste of a USB-C port to simply tap power from, and generally not as robust/clean.
