USB-C versus USB Micro connectors are turning into one of the holy wars of our time. Rather than be left on the wrong side of the divide [Stefan S] has come up with his own USB-C version of of an A… ...

On the electronics and interfacing side of things, [John] utilises the Arduino pro micro for its copious analog inputs and USB functionality.

PD Micro is the first Arduino-compatible board with USB Type-C Power Delivery, which allows your project to make use of voltages from 5-20 V.

It's of course backwards compatible with existing Arduino add-ons, but sets itself apart with a new USB controller with lower latency and driver-free operation on Mac and Linux.

The Arduino Cable Tracer has been created using an Arduino Mega 2560 board with its IO pins connected to USB-A, USB-C, Micro-B, and Mini-B ports.

Main features of Arduino Micro: The Arduino Micro is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega32u4. Like its brother the Leonardo board, the Arduino Micro has one microcontroller with built-in USB.
