USB-C PD: New Technology Done Right
hackaday.com
There is a tendency as we get older, to retreat into an instinctive suspicion of anything new or associated with young people. All of us will know older people who have fallen down this rabbit hole…

I wanted to share this opinion on Hackaday about a topic that is the usefulness of a something that has become ubiquitous relatively fast.

This techonolgyy has a lot of potential, what do you think?

    I converted my small guitar pedalboard to USB-C. I have a multi port charger and a handful of USB-C to barrel plug adapters. Super simple.

    My worry was that it wouldn’t be isolated like some of the nicer power delivery systems, but since it was my small one I didn’t really care. They’re actually getting less interference than they were with my cheap pedalboard power supply.

    In addition, I have one pedal that gives me more headroom at 18v than it does at the 9v it’s specced for. I haven’t taken out a multimeter but it’s definitely got more headroom now than it did under the old power supply.
