When I need something funky odd for a computer cable, I have cableclub.com make it. One was an external SCSI cable with a combination of connectors and length that was completely unobtainable as a stock item, and the price was pretty cheap from them. 'Course that was a decade or so ago... I should enquire about the availability, or not, of USB gender changers with a user assembled housing. I want to make some trick charging adapters to make Apple and Samsung devices to pull maximum power from any USB wall wart with the capability to supply 2+ amps. It's not as simple as shorting the data pins with those brands, and the Samsung tablets *need* to pull at least 2 amps to not have the charge slowly drop while they're being used. $30 for a "special" Samsung wall wart when the secret is just a couple of resistors! Now if there's a way to automatically sense Apple, Samsung or "other" and switch to the proper voltages on the data lines, or just short the data lines... --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
