Custom Module Power

[Joseph_Villa]

Hello!

I’m sure this has already been covered somewhere, but I was unable to find it. I’m trying to make a module for a hidden mouse dongle. I bought a usb c to usb A 3.0 adapter and plugged the dongle into that. My intent is to then house that in a module. This set up works fine when I have it plugged into an official usb c module. However when I plug it straight into the port, like it would be inside the housing, it does not get power.

Am I missing a setting somewhere? How do I get power to the port without first going through an official module? I assume this has to do with the power efficiency updates, but I haven’t been able to find a setting for this.

Dongle Hider

[image] I saw a comment that people want to hide their Logitech Unifying dongle (and other random small easy to lose dongles. Tried a design with a standard USB-A 2.0 socket recessed inside. Not enough room for another connector to expand outward sadly. It will need some improvement, the socket is probably too high. I’d replace it with a laptop usb-a socket that sits dropped into the board. If you have a suggestion for a part, let me know!
