Since I've had problems in the past with fab houses not making the tiny
holes for USB Type-C receptacles properly, I started looking for a
solution that would ensure I can reliably make these boards. Inspired
by https://hackaday.io/project/28516-business-card-gamepad, I created
USB Type-C receptacles for the PCB edge in KiCad. Now I don't have to
populate the receptacles at all (forgoing the shield pads, which were
unreliable in my testing, and did not impact functionality), meaning the
Wye boards are easier and cheaper to make. You know what that means:
price reduction!
This updates the project to recent KiCad 5 nightlies.
