    A great explanation and solution to this 'issue'. The amount of devices I have that I have to have both cables is a pain! Time to get my soldering iron out!

    Good job! I can confirm that this also works to convert a micro USB device to usb-c as I have done that with a Jabra speakerphone. The only downside is that usb-c will only provide 500mA in these configurations, which can be slow for some devices.

      Shouldn't it be possible to just lower the resistance then for more amps?

      @@Menalix No, the resisters are actually just there to show the power supply that the device wants usb 2. If you want more current without a micro-controller you need to short the data lines with a low ohm resister as well, to show the charger that is ready for USB BC 1.2 and then it will raise to 1.5a

    I am trying to do this currently with Ds Lite consoles and 3ds consoles. I dont know exactly how to get the resistors in without accidentally soldering other contacts, did you use a jumper wire from each ground to resistor and then use the contact on the other end of the resistor to each CC? It was hard to see but thats what it looked like to me! Your video was much more help to me then others i have seen so i greatly appreciate it!

    Great video. Although I don't charge Type C to C regularly, I had noticed this issue as well and I think it needs to be highlighted more as I suspect many OEMs are cheaping out on USB connectors assuming people mainly use Type C to Type A. The ESR seems to be the same basic shell and charging case as my Astrotec S60, but the S60 has balanced armature drivers and wireless charging.

      You should use a USB C PD trigger board for that.

  • @PhilipBroughtonMills
    @PhilipBroughtonMills 3 года назад +1

    So to detect the CC1 and CC2 pins on the female side, you need a male USB C plug with the CC pin wired, which is pin A5. But of all the bare male plugs that I see for sale on Amazon etc, none have pin A5 exposed. (Most have eight pins: A2 A3 A6 A7 B11 B10 GND VBUS) How do I get a male plug with A5 exposed? I tried cutting up a C to C cable, but the board wasn't labelled and the wires didn't use standard colours so I couldn't tell which one was the CC wire. Am I missing something?

    • @PhilipBroughtonMills

    Could you not make an inline usbc female to usbc male cable attachment that'll do the conversion or would that destroy native usbc devices?

    • @JiananLi
      @JiananLi  4 года назад +1

      Yes, it would be a bad idea to use the adapter attachment that you proposed with spec compliant devices, as they already have those pull-down resistors in place, so the additional pull-down resistors in the adapter reduces the effective resistance in half, thus violating the spec.

    • @davidm8030
      @davidm8030 4 года назад

      @@JiananLi very annoying, would still be good to have a smart inline device which would detect the resistance and either apply or remove the resistance for usbc Vs usbb devices. It's too much pain to convert existing devices by disassembly and soldering

    How does the charger know it should only output 5v to the earbuds device and NOT other higher voltages that Type-C can deliver?

    • @matthewstephenson1664
      @matthewstephenson1664 4 года назад +6

      Adding those resistors tells it to output 5V. For anything higher, there would have to be a USB-PD negotiation.

    • @JiananLi
      @JiananLi  4 года назад +4

      Those other higher voltages requires USB Power Delivery (PD) negotiation from the device. Since this cheap 5V device does not have the chip to handle the PD negotiation, the charger won't provide it with higher voltages, but just the standard Type-C voltage of 5V.
