An experimental PC adapter for EPCOT —the PlayStation®VR2 headset— that splits USB Type-C® into DisplayPort video, USB 3 data and power. Intercepting its DP-AUX/SBU and CC side channels.
Important: This is my first electronics project and I am still ironing the whole thing out, I have gotten here with a lot of hints and reviews from people who actually know what they are doing, but it should be considered non-functional, for now.
Once the project is properly tested and the design is finalized we will provide the manufacturing files to order assembled boards from any affordable printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication house. The final aim of the project is that one assembled adapter should cost less than 50€; the design and components are being aggresively optimized as much as possible. Getting one or two should be feasible for almost anyone.
More or less like this, the dimensions are around 6.3 x 10.2 centimeters; much tinier than it looks like here:
No, it is not a typo. I needed something that could be unique and searchable, and contained PS, VR and two somewhere.
Sony products (like the memory card USB one) seem to call their adapters adaptors, so I follow their naming scheme.
You can call it the pee ess virtual adaptor. :)
@JX35: For the DisplayPort AUX emulator board this is heavily based on, and uncountable references, ideas and suggestions.@mrandTX: Hardware reviews, many suggestions, things I wouldn't have even thought about and encouragement.@thaytan,@ivry.vrand many others around the Monado project: Crucial research and development about how the PS®VR2 hardware and software actually functions. Standing on the shoulders of giants, this just cobbles stuff together. Many thanks.jorticus/DPSwitch, for the initial DisplayPort symbols and schematic that I used as a start point to learn the program and a good reference of how to use KiCad buses to group signals.diva-eng/diva-card, for the known-good 12 MHz 20pF crystal oscillator circuit using cheap JLCPCB basic parts, and the capacitor/resistor values.
