I wanted to run a test for some USB 2.0 type-C connectors I got off Amazon and figured why not make it into one of the widgets.

SchematicBoard layout

It is inspired by the Adafruit USB-C breakout but I wanted to keep the connector to the breadboard power rails and added a power indicator LED.

I liked how the Adafruit breakout has the pull-down resistors on CC1 and CC2 on board, so you don't have to add them every time, but of course you can just leave them unpopulated.

Test
The board is requesting power from a USB PD power supply and injects it into the breadboard power rails

I ordered the boards from Aisler and if you are interested, I have shared them via this link. I have also been thinking about sharing the other boards individually on Aisler and OSHpark, so let me know if that's something you're interested in.
