Donguru — ドングル

A USB-Type-C dongle with a USB Hub, UART / I2C / GPIO / ADC, a power switch and a power meter

The Donguru USB-Type-C dongle

Plus a fast, scriptable command-line interface to drive it all.

What it does

  • USB Hub

    Not enough ports on your machine? Donguru puts a small test rack worth of equipment on just one cable.

  • Full control of Type-C plug

    Turn power on and off, disconnect data lines, communicate over USB-PD protocol, enter alternate or debug-accessory modes and more.

  • UART / I2C / GPIO / ADC

    General-purpose interfaces for prototyping, bring-up, debugging and testing. On the plug SBU lines and 2.54 header.

  • Power switch

    Enable or disable power to downstream device(s) on demand.

  • Power meter

    Monitor voltage and current draw in real time.

  • More to come

    Hardware also supports SPI, FDCAN, PWM and a whole SWD interface. Which will be released with upcoming software updates.
