Dactyl manuform 3.5mm jack and usb c adapters

thingiverse

Connection adapters for the dactyl manuform. I had trouble connecting the female USB-C to the male Micro-USB on my Arduino Pro Micro. I followed a video tutorial that showed how to do it, but the guy made a mistake with the D- connection. Most of my problems came from using small connectors that were hard to solder because they fit in my dactyl case. I bought new connectors that fit tightly and had to use hot glue to hold everything together. The connectors can pull loose when connecting or disconnecting, so you need to secure them with glue. I also fried a few of them by applying too much heat with the soldering iron. Before soldering, check your board's layout. On mine, the grounds were connected together, so all I had to do was connect the Micro-USB's ground and VCC, and each D line to both sides of the female USB-C connector. This makes it reversible. You'll need to drill into your case to fit the USB-C and jack female adapters. I used my soldering iron to melt the plastic. There were no issues with power draw. I used audiojack and usbc-small files for the pictures. If you want to connect both sides, print one of the usbc-big files to replace the audiojack.
