All about USB-C: talking low-level Power Delivery #USB #RP2040 #MicroPython @hackaday

Hackaday has been covering USB-C and in an article today tackles USB Power Delivery (PD). Arya Voronova accomplishes implementation of PD through use of PD triggering and 100 lines of MicroPython code.

If you want to follow along, you’ll want the FUSB302 chip, and some kind of MicroPython board. I’m using a RP2040+FUSB302B combination on a devboard of my own design, but an ESP8266 would do just as well.

If you’re following this tutorial from CircuitPython, first, that’s admirable and I hope it’s easy enough for you to adapt the examples, and second, you have an advantage – it will be easier for you to upload your code, since CircuitPython supports storage device mode on things like the RP2040.
