Comment on i have a problem with USB c charging đ

If you have correctly found the D+ and D- lines broken out from the USB C connector, and added resistors to those, I canât see how that would cause an issue with the wireless charging; they should be mostly independent, since if thereâs no USB power supply attached, the resistors wonât be sensed anyway.

Hey Iâm just scratching the surface of how deep this topic really is, I have read some articles and at this point Iâm really confused, if I plug the USB cable in and search for 5v pads what will I found the vbus line which at the moment is the cc ? Or the d+ with the bc1.2 ? And how do I know what standard is it using at the moment ? Anyway from the wireless charger I only get 3 cables out 5v gnd and ID (keep in mind I have bought wireless chargers with the lightening plug because I wasnât aware of such a complicated standard and they were cheaper anyway since now it doesnât work I will bui proper USB c Qi chargers ⌠) So as I understood I should add a 5.1 k resistor because the charging board is expecting a pull down but I didnt get where ⌠On the cc line ?

I will note that Iâm not an expert in the plethora of USB charging standards. Quite frankly, USB C is almost like black magic to me. With that said, finding the D+ and D- lines might be tough unless youâve got a USB C charging cable youâre willing to cannibalize.
That is, what you can do is carefully splice into such a cable, then connect it to the board and a USB charging block. By probing the wires, you can rule out the power wires, which should leave you with the D+ and D- wires. You would want to do this with a cable thatâs meant only for changing, such as USB C to USB A. That way, there would only be four wires inside. If you cut open a USB C to C cable, youâll have a lot more wires that you have to check.
Once you identify the D+ and D- this way, you can then do continuity checks from those wires to various pads on the board. In this way, youâll eventually find your D+ and D- pads, and can then add your temporary resistors, to see if that works.
As for identifying the USB charging spec in use, thatâs going to be tougher. I think there are test devices that take the place of a USB charger and can display or change the spec, but Iâve never used such a thing.

Thanks so much for your help I will make some tests and hope for the best I now at least know thatâs a lot more complicated that what it seems yeah definitely black magic to me too đ kinda ironic the universal name if u then have thousands of different standards
