When they say 'power for all your devices' it's more about hobby projects right rather than retrofitting usb-c to anything? Quite cool option though and I love

Quite cool option though and I love the flash to program option.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoIt's risky, but I've seen people use similar hardware to retrofit knicknacks like flashlights and Gameboys.
- mlyle 5y ago> retrofitting usb-c to anything? Nah, you can retrofit USB-C to things, sort of. Say you have something that takes a 5.5mm barrel connector and 12V @ 1A. You can tell this thing to negotiate for 12V @ 1A, and if it can't get it, to give up. In turn, it can power that device from many USB-C adapters. You can buy much the same thing pre-assembled into a cable-- https://www.amazon.com/2-Pack-JacobsParts-Type-C-Trigger-Connector/dp/B08NRM6X2Y/ref=sr_1_15?crid=1Z4HVWKVL9XBT&keywords=usb-c+to+12V+barrel&qid=1643561135&sprefix=usb-c+to+12v+barrel%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-15 https://www.amazon.com/2-Pack-JacobsParts-Type-C-Trigger-Con... (But the fpx thing makes safer choices, like letting you not connect the "wrong" voltage if the charger is not capable).
