Fast usb charging hack

Try not to accidentally cut off the small part like I did twice. Fold the skinny part over leaving about 2 mm width for lower part of the plug. Insert into plug all the way, and fold the larger part around the flashing. You can then plug it in and see if it fits. You may need to trim a bit of the paper off depending on your measurements.

It will stay in the USB slot if you do not pull the paper and the plug together. There we go, your USB cable has been hacked! The uses for this may be endless.

I hope you find a use for this. I am not responsible for starting a fire, overheating, breaking, frying, or otherwise damaging your device.

I don't see how it could anyway. I like easy solutions for common problems that are so obvious you never even bother to try solving them. Have your charging cables been switched? Have you thought to check? Probably not. Wide areas of offices space can be scanned quickly if you know the revealing characteristics. Electronic circuits generate heat. This Martian is no different. Just touch the plug. If you have any questions, or would like to schedule a TSCM information security audits for your office or home, just let me know.

He bought a Quick Charge power bank and then hacked a Digispark to negotiate with the power bank to provide 12V output to Quick Charge his audio recorder.

Depending on how the end-point negotiates with the charger, either 5V, 9V or 12V outputs are supported. But a more permanent solution would be needed if he wanted to use it on the field. His parts bin revealed a Digispark board and he set about hacking it. And then replaced the existing 5V regulator with a 3V3 one. This required several bodges which he has documented on his blog. Some simple code flashed on the ATtiny85 handles all of the handshaking and sets up 12V output to run his audio recorder.

There are other powerbank with selectable voltage output on DC 2. Big issue for things like cars where you may need to pass usb tethering or audio while charging. How solid are those banks at providing 12V for extended periods of time? However the only cables you are are for Iphones, etc or c to c. How do I find regular charging cables for other products like Samsung and kindle? We suggest finding cables that support quick charge.
