Power

The cheap 5V, 3A wall wart that I used to power Baksi 2 doesn't work properly. It's either that or the tiny USB hub in the robot's base isn't detecting the power supply and switching to it.

My new plan is to use Nicholas De Coster's USB Quick Charge hack to power Baksi. That means that I can use an ATtiny412 to negotiate voltage with a modern USB-C power supply.

I'm modifying the board to use pin headers:

The components I need for the USB QC board assembled in an unfinished schematic.

I ordered a small 30W USB-C power supply that supports Quick Charge 4.0.
