Soldered HUSB238 USB-C Power Delivery Breakout
This breakout asks a USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger for a fixed voltage, 5, 9, 12, 15, 18 or 20 V, and passes it to a screw terminal and two header pins. The HUSB238 on the board handles the negotiation on its own, so you set the voltage and the current on two DIP switch banks without writing any code. Over I2C (a two-wire bus for talking to chips) you can also read what the charger agreed to and request a different voltage.
One DIP switch bank sets the voltage and the other sets the current request, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 or 3.25 A. With every switch off, the board asks for 20 V and 3.25 A. If the charger does not offer the voltage you set, the HUSB238 takes the next lower one it does offer.
A P-channel MOSFET switches the output, and a purple LED lights while the
output is on. A slide switch disconnects the board from USB-C. The I2C lines
sit on their own 3-pin header at the fixed address 0x08, and the Soldered
HUSB238 libraries for Arduino and MicroPython read the charger's status and
request a voltage.
