abortretryfailminute: i wonder if chaseadam encountered problems charging from some sources like USB-C adapters as I have.12:52
abortretryfailThe Reform will pull a surprising amount of current and both of the USB-C chargers I have used with a 20V trigger cable will shut down. maybe some short circuit protection?12:53
abortretryfailA radio I have which also uses the LTC4020 will charge no problem with the same trigger cable and charger, but it draws much less current.12:54
abortretryfailoh nvm, there was more comments about resistor heat dissipation i missed.12:56
jfredI think I've experienced the same with USB-C chargers though, and my Reform was plugged in with such a charger when it did this: https://community.mnt.re/t/just-came-back-to-a-seemingly-dead-board/116213:16
minutereform charges with around 60W13:17
jfred(I've since gotten that broken mobo fixed, maybe I should update that thread with some info about what failed)13:17
f_jfred: You should, in case someone else has the same issue13:21
jfredAye13:22
jfredAlso though I'm hesitant to plug it back in with the same adapter again, maybe I should do that and plug in my USB-PD power monitor to see what's happening13:25
jfredAnd see if the USB-C power supply shuts down like it did before13:28
abortretryfailminute: a bit over 60W actually. I've got a 60W PD charge port on a solar power bank and it cuts out trying to charge the Reform.13:32
abortretryfailUsually I charge it from a 13.8V amateur radio power supply and I've seen it go over 5A on the meter there.13:33
sknebellooking at the datasheet, the LTC4020 has a pin which can be used to scale the charge current by a percentage. too bad with QFN package you cant really hook anything to that after the fact...13:36

abortretryfailoh what, i didnt realize that was the resistor bodge. RNG/SS is left floating?13:46

sknebeloh right, using that apparently was a problem: https://community.mnt.re/t/mnt-reform-r-2-motherboard-update-2021-04-19/17713:56
abortretryfailUsing it to disable charging altogether was, but i wonder if it can still be used to limit current during charging13:57
sknebelright, and someone with good (better than me...) soldering skill could even reasonably try that given the pad left by the change13:59
abortretryfailI could solder that, wonder if it's worth putting a little trimpot on there 14:13
mhoyespeculative question: how would I go about diagnosing a dead USB port?14:21
abortretryfailtry the device on a different port first14:24
abortretryfailthen check the suspected port with a known-working device14:24
abortretryfaillook at dmesg and see if there are kernel messages about USB problems14:24
abortretryfailtest if the port has 5v power14:24
mhoyeabortretryfail: thanks - I've confirmed that devices aren't powered or OS-visible when they're plugged into it, so it seems like a hardware problem.14:37

mhoyeThank you.16:18
mhoyeA thing I am going to say about that is... look, the manual and docs for this thing are just fantastic.16:19
mhoyeIt should not be this way, but it is exceedingly refreshing to read a document that was written by somebody who clearly wants you to have some sort of agency over your situation, and not just reboot the thing or return it to the shop.16:20

abortretryfailYeah I love it. The docs and source code are how I was able to get my mic input working again. If this was any of my other computers I would have probably been boned.17:01

joschabortretryfail, jfred: i'm successfully charging my reform with two different usb-c to 20 V adapters for over a year now without any problems in case you want some product recommendations22:28
abortretryfailtbh the utility of USB-PD charging to me comes from being able to use whatever charger is available. If the Reform is a huge current hog and will only charge with the beefiest of sources, it doesn't do me much good and I prefer the plain DC power jack and a pair of clip leads. :)22:30
abortretryfailI'm interested to hear which ones work though.22:30

abortretryfailbeing able to charge it off the radio DC power without making any RFI is already a huge win 22:31

abortretryfailthe power station I have is also rated 20 V @ 3A and the Reform trips its over-current protection, shutting off the port.22:39
