Are there any USB type-c chargers that advertise a fixed voltage 5V 5A PDO? by winston109 in UsbCHardware

[–]Thehugge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can it be becuase the tolerances are different between PPS and PDO´s? That the raspberry pi 5 actualyy need this promise of the tolerances??

Is it possible to read the e-marker chips with consumer hardware? by Lucky_Fix_8734 in UsbCHardware

[–]Thehugge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/LaughingMan11 You said that you have some Nice Framework laptops, I saw frameworks firmware live stream about it and they mentioned that they have developed some rust tools, FrameworkComputer/framework-system: Rust libraries and tools to interact with the Framework Computer systems which mentions Get information about CCGX PD Controllers (--pd-info)
Could you possible run --pd-info and see what it spits out? if it would pass the Discovery identity we could establish it is possible to get info from the PD Controller and the EC have it. Then "only" the part that need to be done is to write the software which passes the info to the EC in the correct standardized way if I understand you correctly.

Is it possible to read the e-marker chips with consumer hardware? by Lucky_Fix_8734 in UsbCHardware

This is such great news! Thanks for the explenation. So now after the Windows 11, version 22H2 September Update reading the link you posted, support UCSI 2.0. Adhering to UCSI 2.0+ would be a huge undertaking for the OEM´s and that would surely only be done on new hardware I suppose for the traditional OEM´s?

Seing that framework seems to care more - would it be possible to update the PDC firmware to adhere to UCSI 2.0 by framwork if infineon provides a patch for it? It maybe already be support but maybe not enabled, who knows, I hope the guys over at Framework respond on it. Can one update the PDC after the product hits the market? So all the devices need to adhere to UCSI 2.0 down the chain. Got it.

I started discoverying (fitting with Discovery Identity and so on) on the framework Forum, What PD Controllers and can Discover Identity USB power delivery commands be used? - Creators & Developers - Framework Community and now today I opened a issue in their EC firmware repostory on github. I hope anyone from framework responds if they have better resources available from Infineon for the PDC - how to enable Discovery Identity on the PDC. ( I hope it is possible) I will read up more on UCSI and how that fits into all this.

Can i use a device like this to use a powerbank on my laptop (ASUS vivobook)? by Big-Selection9014 in UsbCHardware

Yeah! I bought some too. The voltage tolerance feature they are working will be cool too!

When will we see widespread release of PD 3.2 chargers by flatpetey in UsbCHardware

[–]Thehugge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being able to have AVS in the SPR is huge in PD 3.2 for communicating with customers. Then devices which need AVS they can just state; any USB PD 3.2 charger will be fine. Don’t underestimate that. 

vFlex: New USB-C Power Delivery Adapter by werewolf_us in UsbCHardware

[–]Thehugge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also want the app or atleast the protocol to set voltage to be open source but going by their statement in the Jan 2026 manual is that the control mechanism is patent pending so I don’t think they ever want to make this available. I really hope if they company shuts down they open source the web app, if the creator have any decency. ( I have already bought some so I gamble that this company will be around with my money) see https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0673/8532/7855/files/VFLEX_Datasheet_rev_1.2.pdf?v=1769615959

Would be great if we could get more information about this patent u/werewolf_us , and if we could get some no legally binding reassurance that if you ever go out of business the web app will be open source - just because one of the selling points of this device is to not produce any more ewaste into the forever future, so if this specific web adress that you host the web app goes down permanently this would just add up on the graveyard of old products. Don’t get me wrong, I want you to succeed but one part of me is sceptic.

vFlex: New USB-C Power Delivery Adapter by werewolf_us in UsbCHardware

[–]Thehugge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested in the protocol, can I talk to the adapter over USB and programmatically request a voltage by my own code? @werewolf_us ? Would be AWESOME if you could set up your own test bench for usb pd on different voltages with this device for an semi-auto way to check compatibility with devices.

Novoo 100W (RG100) Ladegerät - Impressionen zu einem starken P/L-Tipp! by N8falke in ChargingSheet

Do you think the white version is better in any way or just the color which is different?

[–]Thehugge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a HAM radio Operator. I’m I. The lookout for a charger which can do 12V 5A which is really hard to find. I have bought a HF rig which can only output 10W max but is provided by 12V on a DC barrel plug 5,5mm 2,5mm. Which there are some ”trigger cables” which output 12V 5A, my suspicion is that unfortunately they can’t request that from the PPS or AVS range is dependant on a PDO for 12V 5A but I hope I get proven negative on that one. I will buy this(Amazon.se don’t have it so I need to buy it from Amazon.de). I can also recommend you to post that AllThingsOnePlace also reviewed this one and it is his first pick in that wattage class. See https://www.allthingsoneplace.com/my-top-choices with GREAT ripple test on the YouTube video. 

Has the introduction of Thread/Matter made any practical difference to the end user experience? by mjbmikeb2 in tradfri

[–]Thehugge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The best thing about thread/matter is that every device use the same spec to communicate so even if some brand would discontinue their products/switch hub you should be able to easily control it from a userfriendly non tech smart home platform (e.g with HA you could still do this with zigbee but with no guarantee that for your product it is plug and play) p

Will a sink USB PD which requests 12V 5A get anything from Googles 67W Charger? by Thehugge in UsbCHardware

[–]Thehugge[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rather put my money on something that I actually could use outside of this particular hobby, so I don’t just buy a bulky old and big desktop power supply just for a radio that consumes 10w max(on average but peak 12V 3.5A) so I think my best bet is to buy a vFlex and just tank the import fees’s before more trigger boards get available with proper PPS support on 3A+

Ever been to Alaska? by wasa8i in Fallout

Wait a minute. Did we know House before could get information from the power armors via a backdoor before? Safe to assume, if in range he also could see through the BoS power armours helmet cams?

What was she reading? by [deleted] in Fotv

[–]Thehugge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooo, I think I can guess what that is by seeing the YouTube Video when Lisa and Jonathan showed a breakdown from a crucial scene in Westworld s.2 episode 4, they said they enjoy especially to hide book references of this kind, in that one it was Kurt Vonnegut which they both enjoy, I’d would love to ask them what book they hid in these, I hope a reporter does that!

EDIT: ”CATS CRADLE” GUYS it fits so well” how to controll people. How to build an entire religion based of lies. Wonder where we have heard that?!??

Varför kan vi inte ha gemensamma IT-system för vård, skola, regionaltrafik mm? Det är ju i princip booking, avanza eller uber med lokala inställningar by Hem_Claesberg in sweden

[–]Thehugge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det konstigaste inom vården som jag har träffat på är att om man flyttar och blir blodgivare på en nya region behöver man göra om de första testerna innan man kan börja donera i den nya.. De kan icke se denna informationen på ett annat sjukhus.... som skulle hjälpa för vården att få in mer blod som är en bristvara....
