DIY USB Type-C Power Delivery Trigger Board

In this video we will have a closer look at a USB Type-C Power Delivery Trigger board. Such boards are used to output 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or even 20V from a Power Delivery compatible power source. So I will be showing you how such a commercial board works and I will try to create my own DIY version of it in order to see whether it makes sense to DIY such a board or whether we should stick to the commercial solution instead. Let's get started!

Make sure to watch the video. It will give you all the information you need to create your own USB Type-C PD Trigger board. During the next steps though I will give you some additional information.

Here you can find the schematic for the project which shows you what components you will need for the PCB. You can order them here: https://lcsc.com/

Here you can find the Gerber files for my PCB. Feel free to upload and order them here: https://jlcpcb.com/

Here you can find the wiring diagram for the ESP8266 and the FUSB302 board along with the code provided by Reclaimer Labs.

You did it! You just created your own USB Type-C PD Trigger board!
