USBuddy is a TINY USBHub with a built in hole to put it on a keychain or backpack! (If you need to plug more USB cables into your backpack than the backpack has ports for)
Yes, the files are kinda wierdly and messily named here, but thats because if you want to view the project, you dont have to use said files! Here is a public (i think) link to the project, or you can open the project directly in the EasyEDA editor here.
For 2 reasons:
- I have not done any hardware projects in ~2 months and needed a refresher on PCB/Schematic making by making a small practise project.
- I am always in need of a USB hub (no matter how many i buy, i just happen to get more and more cables!)
This is not for making your own but a overview on what parts are needed, for a complete BOM please see the provided CSV file! Note: For some wierd reason the BOM csv file does not include the 3 100nF resistors? Anyways you do need that, and its included in the list below
- 11x Capacitors (8x1uF, 3x100nF)
- 2x Radial Through-Hole Capacitors
- 6x Resistors (5.1K)
- 3x Type C USB connectors
- 2x Type A USB connectors
- SL2.1S USB Hub chip
- Connect input USB C connector (The one thats lonely) to PC using a USB Type C cable.
- Connect your device using a USB cable to any of the remaining ports and pray to the gods of Macondo YSWS that it works.
