Additional Tools

You will also need a USB Type-C power adapter that supports power delivery and a power delivery Type-C cable
which has thicker power wires in the cable. This will minimize voltage drops across the cable and heat up less
under high current loads. The Power Delivery Board's voltages and available current output are limited by the
power delivery adapter used. The cable and power adapter used in this guide is a 87W USB-C Power Adapter
made by Apple, and supports 5.2V, 9V, 14.5V, and 20.3V.
Note: During testing we noticed a significant delay changing voltages with some power adapters that
have both a USB Type-A fast charging plug as well as USB Type-C power delivery plug. We recommend
getting a power adapter that supports power delivery that only has a USB Type-C connector.
