Help with Integrating Adafruit USB C Breakout Board with Daisy Seed

Post by raskjaerbo »

Dear Adafruit community,

I am trying to integrate the Adafruit USB C Breakout Board with the Daisy Seed platform. I am using libdaisy to communicate between the two devices. I would like to test the connection and verify that data can be transferred between the computer and the Daisy Seed via the USB C connection.

Has anyone had experience with this setup? Are there any libraries or examples that I can use as a starting point? I would greatly appreciate any tips or guidance on how to get started with this project.

Thank you for your time and help.

Best regards,
Rasmus from Denmark

This is the first time I've heard of a Daisy Seed.

Assuming it's this one:

https://www.electro-smith.com/daisy/daisy

It looks like the connections are possible. The pinout diagram on that product page shows USB signals D+ and D- on pins 36 and 37, and the USB-ID signal connected to pin 1. Those, along with 5V and GND are the only signals in a pre-USB-C connection.

There won't be any code support.. the connections are entirely in hardware. USB is a high-speed protocol, so keep the wires for D+ and D- as short and straight as possible. The 5V and GND connections will be more flexible, and you can ignore the USB-ID signal.. that's only used for USB-OTG applications where a device can work as either a USB peripheral or a USB Host.
