DIY USB Type-C Power Delivery Trigger Board

by GreatScottLab

In this video we will have a closer look at a USB Type-C Power Delivery Trigger board. Such boards are used to
output 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or even 20V from a Power Delivery compatible power source. So I will be showing you how
such a commercial board works and I will try to create my own DIY version of it in order to see whether it makes
sense to DIY such a board or whether we should stick to the commercial solution instead. Let's get started!

Step 1: Watch the Video!

Make sure to watch the video. It will give you all the information you need to create your own USB Type-C PD
Trigger board. During the next steps though I will give you some additional information.
