| Asmadeus | Silly question, is the power on rev2 still 5V? If so what is the rationale behind the jack connector? I'd love to be able to use one of my many usb chargers around (so any of usb c/micro usb/mini usb even if there is no kind of data on this port) to avoid having yet another power adapter | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| Asmadeus | (I guess I can still tinker some usb to jack adapter if that's all it takes :p) | 00:13 |
| adjtm | Asmadeus, I don't know mntmn's reason, but usually the barrel connector has a much lower resistance, so the voltage drops less with high currents | 00:32 |
| adjtm | much better than usb micro would be usb type-c with PD (power delivery) which supports up to 20V 5A (100W) | 00:33 |
| adjtm | Asmadeus, about usb micro it's much more fragile than a not too thin barrel connector | 00:35 |
| Asmadeus | yeah type-c pd would be ideal, but pd requires changing circuitery for logic and to support higher voltages | 00:36 |
| Asmadeus | I don't believe there's much difference between other connectors for their resistance as long as you keep them on 5V, they all have very thin connectors so it's going to be horrible. That said with 5V I don't think even a jack connector is going to pump more than a couple of amps, not sure... | 00:38 |

| Jookia | Doesn't high voltage/current USB require negotiation? | 06:53 |
| Asmadeus | yes, that's why I think that would be too late at this point in the process | 07:21 |

| mntmn | Asmadeus: rev2 is not 5v anymore | 08:23 |
| mntmn | to charge the batteries you need to input at least 30V now | 08:24 |
| Asmadeus | ok, that settles the issue then | 08:24 |
| mntmn | the system will work with anything from ~7V-32V | 08:24 |
| mntmn | you could probably do some kind of usb-c PD dongle | 08:25 |
| Asmadeus | iirc usb-c PD is up to 20V, if it can't charge it's a bit moot | 08:25 |

| mntmn | dongle | 08:34 |
| Asmadeus | I'll think about it :) | 08:38 |

| mntmn | Jookia: you mean microsoft powerpoint? | 22:09 |
| rvense | it should run the web version of office without problems, shouldn't it? | 22:11 |
| Jookia | mntmn: no, the wall :P | 22:12 |
| Jookia | and probably | 22:12 |
| Jookia | wow that no sounded sarcastic | 22:12 |
| Jookia | was a joke about higher voltage requirements | 22:12 |
| rvense | that's my suggestion for the next round of screenshots. office and facebook and a tagline about freedom of choice | 22:13 |
| Jookia | LOL | 22:17 |
