Because sometimes you just have to stitch resistors and capacitors. And a few diodes for good measure.

USB-C "Fixer" for Missing CC Pins 🔌⚡🛠️

We have a few devices missing the 5.1K resistors on the CC pins, which frustratingly don't work with Mac computers or certain smart USB-C power supplies. To solve this, we designed a small adapter that combines our sunken USB socket

Adafruit Sunken USB Type C Breakout Board

When you want a svelte USB C build, a 'sunken' type connector that straddles the PCBA will let you keep your build super slim. This

and USB plug breakout

Throw out all those Mini and Micro B USB cables you have in a plastic bin - the next generation of USB connectors is here with USB C! Y

This handy USB-C "fixer" adds the necessary CC resistors and includes a power-good LED indicator. It passes standard USB 2.0 signals (5V, GND, D+, D-) and fits onto any USB-C cable end, ensuring compatibility with a wider range of devices.

mm resistors... which do you think is most tasty...

The resistor code (how you recognize the value of a resistor from the bands of color) is almost good and then totally faceplants at the end. The way it works is you have a system of (Digit 1) (Digit 2) (Digit 3) * (multiplier). Except this isn't scientific notation; you have to convert everything awkwardly in your head by multiplying a 3 digit number (123) by the multiplier. So 1,2,3,4 -> (123) * 10^4 = 1.23*10^6 = 1.23 MOhms.

They could just have easily had it be significant digit and then scientific notation. This would have made 4, 5, and 6 band resistors equivalent, just with added precision. But nope! For a 4 band resistor you have a 10s number * multiplier and a 6 band gets extra digits (note: I may be wrong here).

Just, it was so close and you guys had to ruin it.
