USB C Charging?

Post by ChemNation » Thu Jul 13, 2023 12:26 am

Hey everyone.

Does the n3dsxl board have 3ds charging? I just saw something about it and mine isn't charging via USB, only with the charging cable.

the first batch did not charge over USB unless you specifically asked for it, because of this:

About charging over USB.

At maximum load (capture card active, while charging a dead battery) the 3DS can pull nearly 1A of current, that's twice what the USB2.0 spec allows. Odds are good that most computers are ok with it anyway, but I'd rather play it safe. I can add some current limiting circuitry later, but these boards don't have it. USB3 ports allow for more power. This is only about staying inside USB2 specs.

So, UNLESS you tell me you want them added in, I'm going to leave the charging wires unconnected.
