Simple Multi USB-C Power Module

I've got way too many USB-C powered devices - and I've only got one USB-C cable coming onto my bench with enough power for them. It's time to fix that!

Had a look through lots of your videos over the last few days and recently subscribed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😀 I would appreciate a review of some of the tools you use, such as the FNB58 USB Tester, the battery tester (with the big fan), and the hotplate - I couldn't find any in your list, though I might not have searched too well !!

Can't wait to see your ESP32 PCB.
Also, it would be cheaper to buy 4 single channel modules at $2.63 each, than to buy a 4 channel board for $20.38 !!!
Who prices these?

Nice showcase for the usefullness of these qc charger modules and miniware load. I have been using a earlier version of these (QC 3.0 module) probably the same as @lezbriddon mentioned. They were being used on a 24V solar project and i found they get especially hot when charging devices like power banks. You may want to soak test the board with a load for a longer period of time before designing a case as free air flow may be required or the addition of the self adhesive little heatsinks put on rasberry pi's.

just bought one last week for more sockets in the van, but its not the same, I have surface mount inductors(220) and only half as many capacitors, so i'm guessing your boards design may be the better performer as I'd edge my bets the IC is the same (id removed by laser...) (pin2 inductor 5&6 d+/d-)

I don't understand why the push for all things USB powered.
Great for working in the field, but at the bench why?
I have power on the bench up to 45v and up to 30A with all the voltage and current limits you need, and USB ports for data.

So you are making a mains power supply to power USB devices? seems that the world is going around in circles.

As a side note my soldering irons are all mains except for one gas powered one for use away from mains.
The only reason i can see for going the USB route is they don't need to supply a power supply. which due to the questionable safety of a lot of USB power supplies is a good idea for them.
