ChildOfCv Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Oops, turns out my current cable is USB A->C. Anyway, it's not USB-PD aware and will not transfer more than standard USB current. Apparently if you get a straight USB C->C cable, you should be okay. But be careful when buying a USB A variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I was told I can use USB A -> USB C with iPad charger ? That I don’t need USB C PSU. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChildOfCv Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I was told I can use USB A -> USB C with iPad charger ? That I don’t need USB C PSU. With a good cord, yes. iPad chargers are good for 2A +. If your cord says it supports fast charging, it should work. But if you bought it from the bargain bin at the gas station, you may have unsatisfactory results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDragon17 Posted December 12, 2018 Author Share Posted December 12, 2018 Beware: Some cheap fast charging ones won't work, as they provide only 12V. A simple, normal USB-C cable will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 so USB C cable will provide power to unit without issue? Direct question to evildragon17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDTV1080P Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 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 DSC03424.JPGDSC03425.JPG Neat looking professional box. I hope this ColecoVision power supply is a success once it is released.

EvilDragon17 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 so USB C cable will provide power to unit without issue? Direct question to evildragon17Unless you grab some really really cheap one that doesn't work at all, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDragon17 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Quick update: PCBs are finished and will ship to me on Monday. So they should arrive on Tuesday and if they work without issues, assembly and shipping to you will start next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 By the way, what country are these shipped? Will there be extra customs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDragon17 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 From Germany. Customs depend on where you are living. Inside the EU, nothing is needed, outside of the EU it depends on the country you're living in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilDragon17 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 Well, if you have a normal USB-A power supply, then you need USB-A to USB-C That's the most common combination (I'm also doing it like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 But are those cable USB-A to USB-C or just USB-C cables? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Those two at eBay. There’s so many different cables. Mini, micro etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDragon17 Posted December 15, 2018 Author Share Posted December 15, 2018 USB-A is the normal sized USB you know from your PC, USB-C the newest one used in Smartphones. So a USB-A to USB-C is simply a cable from the big USB port to the smaller one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mika73 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Yes. But are those two eBay link with display A->C because cant find info... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
