In order to see COM port on PC USB-C cable needs flipped on one AirCube but not the other.

Hello!

I have two AirCubes: one purchased from you(AirCube 1), and one I made based on your schematics, gerbers, BOM etc. (AirCube 2)
(This was done just as a learning experience, so thank you btw! I have never done this before.)

Using the same USB-C cable:
-AirCube 1 plugged into my PC shows up as a COM port I can monitor the serial output from just fine with the USB-C cable in either orientation.
-AirCube 2 plugged into my PC receives power and functions when connected one way with the same USB-C cable, but no COM port appears.
Flipping the USB-C cable upside down, suddenly the COM port appears and I can monitor the serial output.

Is there some kind of difference between the board I would have received from you, versus what is in the schematics?
I ordered from you around 4/15-ish if the timeline helps.

I used AirCube 1.1 gerbers and BOM 1.0 for making the PCB.

Thanks!

Hi!

Thats super awesome that you made your own AirCube! As for the slight difference, I did add 2 traces to the USB output. I have not published this as a new release of hardware here. Both work as you already know, but yes, one of them will only accept the USB C connector in a certain orientation. I will publish the new hardware. I just never got around to it since it was a non-breaking change.

Id love to see a picture of your own cube! Thats super cool

And thanks for the support!

Okay great, I'm glad I didn't do something wrong on my end then haha.
I will keep a look out for your updated files as I'm curious to see the differences.

Here is a picture of my cube!
Its pretty much the same except for the little square rubber foot that comes on yours haha.
