Mika73 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Does this work with Colecovision France Secam model? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDragon17 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Prize 42€ + shipping? I read 35€ somewhere. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That was the first guess, but we updated it and added a 5V regulator so that a cheap chinese USB power supply will also work (and doesn't damage the Coleco). This added a few EUR of costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDragon17 Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Wonder what USB-C power supply cost.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk They can usually be bought for 5 EUR in an electronic store. You don't need a specific USB-C power supply though - just use a normal USB power supply where you can connect a USB cable and get a USB -> USB-C cable Most users have such power supplies at home (for example, from mobile phones, etc.) Does this work with Colecovision France Secam model? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes, it works with any model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Here is a pic of PSU label. Someone say France model PSU is different. Just wanted be sure. Those USB-C cables seem cost like 20€ at Finland. I guess better look one at eBay. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Are these pins and voltages normal Colecovision ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick3092 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yes. The DC output on what you posted matches the same pinout as a US power adapter. The difference is the primary/input voltage (220v vs 120v). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainelocklair Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I just ordered one on your website. Thank you for making thse adapters. Looking forward to using it with my CV! Blaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It it possible use old iPad power adapter? Does it give enough juice? Anyway haven’t find USBC cable yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick3092 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 It it possible use old iPad power adapter? Does it give enough juice? Anyway havent find USBC cable yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Depends on what the power adapter is rated at. Per the OP, as long as it can output 2A, it should work. Most adapters have the output info on them. If not, you'll have to find a spec sheet for it. USB A (the "standard" rectangular plug most people think of when they hear USB") to USB C (oval shaped) cables are fairly common. Don't know where you are, but they can readily be sourced from places like Amazon or Monoprice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainelocklair Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Here's the spec sheet on the iPad plugs from Apple: https://www.apple.com/power-adapters/ In short, they should work fine. Apple also sells the USB to USB-C cables, and you can pick them up at retail from Best Buy, Target, Apple Stores, and so forth. I already have both waiting for the CV adapter. - Blaine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 There was some cables eBay that also show voltage. Look cool. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Read the thread and confused about what's USB-C power supply output voltage and amps need to be? Any links to a useable USB-C power supply? Anyone get one and try it yet? Are they available for order in the US or just England? Sorry if these sounds dumb but not real familar with this stuff. Thanks for any help with this! Edited December 8, 2018 by thegamezmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainelocklair Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 I'm planning on using an iPad power supply and Apple USB-C cord. It meets the specs needed for the CV USB plug.

blainelocklair Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'd check with the folks that make it, but I don't think it will. The original post they made suggested at least two amps and 5v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDragon17 Posted December 10, 2018 Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 You don't need to use a USB-C power supply. Just use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-One-Port-USB-Wall-Charger/dp/B0773JFWDC/ref=sr_1_14 And something like this: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Type-C-USB-Male-Cable/dp/B01GGKYN0A/ref=sr_1_3_acs_sk_pb_1_sl_3 And you're good to go 2A is what I suggest do use, though I have also tried 1A and 1,5A adaptors - but depending on the adaptors, these COULD cause the CV to crash (if the power breaks down) or they can get REALLY hot.

Heck, I even got a cheap USB C->C cable that won't rapid-charge my phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even good USB-C-Cables can't always do rapid-charge - as that's a special feature that needs some extra traces (it works with 12V). No need to get a quickcharge-cable. BTW: Packaging has arrived. Now I'm only waiting for the instructions manual as well as the PCBs. Both should arrive within the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
