It Goes Both Ways! Lithium Battery Charge-Boost Kit

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 23:08:55 +0000

Make your own power bank out of any (1000 mAh or over) lithium battery! Are you a fan of bi-directional USB-C? Hey, so are we! This awesome little board goes both ways - the USB-C connector is both an input to charge a lithium battery at 1.0-1.2A and an output that provides a boosted 5V from the battery at 1.2A!

A USB interface to the "Mother of All Demos" keyset

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 19:36:27 +0000

Engelbart's demo also featured an input device known as the keyset, but unlike his other innovations, the keyset failed to catch on. The 5-finger keyset lets you type without moving your hand, entering characters by pressing multiple keys simultaneously as a chord. Christina Englebart, his daughter, loaned one of Engelbart's keysets to me. I constructed an interface to connect the keyset to USB, so that it can be used with a modern computer. The video below shows me typing with the keyset, using the mouse buttons to select upper case and special characters.

Giant USB Button – RasterWeb!

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 19:14:25 +0000

Look, I’m just going to come out and say it… this Giant USB Button is probably too big! It’s 228.6mm x 228.6mm x 120mm (which is 9″x9″ x 4.725″). The thing is, when someone asks me to build something for them, and it seems interesting, I can’t really say no. And I did say “no” this time, but mainly due to the tight deadline. I said I would need about twice as much time as requested and luckily the client came back with “We can do that!” So I got to work…

An explanation of the USB C charging issues on the RG35XX Plus : r/ANBERNIC

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 22:03:55 +0000

Can some chargers damage my device? Yes. Not all, but definitely some. The damage is caused by the RG35XX Plus mistakenly detecting that some USB C chargers are an external device (like a USB gamepad) that needs power, and trying to apply 5V to the charger itself. This can result in either or both the RG35XX Plus and the charger to heat up - sometimes just a bit, sometimes enough to damage components or the nearby battery. Read below for an explanation about how this happens. If I want to be safe, what chargers are definitely going to be okay to use? Anything that uses a cable with USB A on one end, and USB C on the other. The voltage and current rating of the charger itself makes no difference. This doesn't mean that no other setups will work (for instance, most tethered USB C chargers, or non e-marked C<->C cables will), but using an A<->C cable is the only straightforward way for most people to be sure. Is there a mod to enable charging on all USB C chargers? Yes, but you lose the ability to power other devices from the USB C port on the RG35XX Plus, and it involves soldering tiny SMD components. Is this relevant to other RG35XX family devices? Probably, but I don't know - I've only had a look at the RG35XX Plus. Specifically, mine is marked as a "RG35XX Plus V6.0, 2024-01-09" inside on the PCB.

USB Insight Hub | Crowd Supply

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 19:32:39 +0000

USB Insight Hub plugs into your computer through a USB Type-C connector and exposes three USB 3.0 downstream ports, each with a 1.3-inch screen that displays relevant information about the attached device. That information includes operating system enumeration name (COMx, TTYx, or drive letter), voltage, and current. USB Insight Hub also allows you to control the individual activation and deactivation of the D+/D- USB 2 data lines to force enumeration and control the power of each downstream device. A small application running on the host computer extracts USB information from the operating system and sends it to the Hub over USB.

How to add a Mini USB connector to your DS Lite

Mon, 17 Mar 2014 19:22:49 +0000

I've been noticing more and more consumer gadgets(Phones/MP3 players) are making use of a Mini USB plugs connect to their charger. I figured why not try adding it to my DS Lite. As it turns out it's a fairly straight foward hack as the pinout and spacing are almost identical between the two connectors.

HoRNDIS: USB tethering driver for Mac OS X | Joshua Wise's domain

Thu, 16 Jan 2014 01:36:08 +0000

HoRNDIS (pronounce: “horrendous”) is a driver for Mac OS X that allows you to use your Android phone's native USB tethering mode to get Internet access. It is known to work with Mac OS X versions 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) through 10.9 (Mavericks – see notes below), and has been tested on a wide variety of phones. Although you should be careful with all drivers that you install on your computer, HoRNDIS has been tested at least well enough for the author (and many others) to run full time on their own personal computers.
