In this video I will tell you all about USB Type-C and why it is AWESOME! That means I will show you the development of USB connectors over time and finally explain how USB Type-C performs in regard to speed, power delivery and alternate usage like for example outputting an HDMI signal. Let's get started!

The only problem about type c - you never know what you get by just looking at the connector.

At 3:10: USB 3.2 Gen 1: originally known as USB 3.0, and previously renamed to USB 3.1 Gen 1. It’s the original USB 3.0 specification, and it can transfer data at up to 5Gbps. USB 3.2 Gen 2: Previously known as USB 3.1, and then later as USB 3.1 Gen 2. It offers speeds at up to 10Gbps. USB 3.2 Gen 2x2: formally known as USB 3.2, it’s the newest and fastest spec, promising speeds at up to 20Gbps (by using two lanes of 10Gbps at once).

No one understands it because at some point you stumble into interoperability and expect everything to deliver the full pd spectrum but you get sometimes only 5V but up to 5A, or 20V but only to 2A, if you don't have the correct cable you might be limited to 2A etc...

Problem: now you need a lot of adapters because you only have USB-C ports. One of my teachers has a new MBP, and he’s always looking for the right adapter! Furthermore, USB-C cables are not all alike! The included cables are apparently USB 2.0 (or whichever name the USB-IF decided to rename it with the new spec), and try guessing which is which!

@@GRBtutorials agree with the cables, you don't really know what you're getting, but not for the adapters. Example, USB drive with type c connectors are getting quite common.

@ChronSyn 4 года назад

Fantastic video - I didn't realize that PD triggers existed in such small (and cheap) packages. I recently built an arduino project that also needed to power and control 12V LED's. This little trigger has removed the need for a traditional lithium ion pack (which happen to be at least 2x more expensive and more difficult to obtain compared to a 30W PD powerbank). This makes the entire project more appealing to make open-source and accessible to even people with little experience in electronics. You've got the perfect format for videos - not excessive amounts of details, but definitely enough for people to figure the core facts, and the length of them is also really good (anything less than 6 minutes tends to gloss over details, and anything more than 14 mins tends to border into something I need to think about whether I have time to watch). You might well be the first Pateron I subscribe to because of this. Keep up the great work!

Wow! Great video!👏👏👏 Last summer, I purchased a 50AH LiFePO4 power bank, w/19VDC input (same as 2 parallel 20 Watt PV panels), 2 x USB-2 outputs (5 VDC motor power), & 1 x USB-C PD out (12 VDC SBC + PWM cooling). This was intended for a stand alone, solar powered, HiDef security camera. Unfortunately, the powerbank would shut down and reset the USB-C output to 5VDC whenever solar power was applied or removed from the input. (Just as you explained) So, I trashed it's charge controller/output circuit board, salvaged the 8 3.7V LiFePO4 cells, reconfigured them into 2S4P @ 7.4VDC. Then, used a 5 amp CC Buck converter to charge the cells @ 8 VDC, plus another 5 amp Buck converter to supply the 5VDC motor power. So far, so good. But, I'm running on an under-protected LiFePO4 power pack.🙄 Your programmable STM32 USB-C adapter would have saved me all of that extra expense and hassle. Thanks to you, next time I'll know. 🤙

@stoeger 2 I have a power bank where the charging port has worn out, makes it borderline useless. I use a magnetic adapter to make it work now.

I love the effort you are putting in to overcome your speech impediment! I used to not be able to listen to your videos!

3:40 I think the term you're looking for is "rotational symmetry" - when you rotate an object by less than a full turn and it has the same shape/layout. In the case of Type C connectors, their shape and most of their pins have two-fold rotational symmetry, because there are 2 positions, separated by 360/2 = 180 degrees, that work.

You provided all the info one needs to judge how great USB type C is, along with quantitative analysis. Linus also did a video on USBs, where he told about how USB 3 splits into 3.2 gen1, Gen2, gen2x2 etc.

Very informative. Thanks. I also enjoy your accent and enunciation. One little hint: the English article "the" is usually pronounced "thee" before vowels and "thuh" before consonants.

This guy is really great! I hope he could make a 5-35 dc volts power logic probe project that has a digital display for mechanics. There’s a lot out of videos out there but I think if he’ll do it it would be fantastic because of his skills and talent, plus he’s good in making video tutorials.
