I came up with this idea as i was daydreaming about what i'd do to charge my laptop if i suddenly found myself stranded in the 1960s
Strange premise, but i realised i had a local LLM and ollama installed on my laptop! unfortunately it (llama3.2:3B) couldn't even get close to providing the pinout, let alone any other specs.
I've decided to concatenate responses from popular LLMs to see if any of them could provide something as simple as the pinout of a USB-C connector. LLMs being completely unable to answer (imo) very simple questions is why i never use them.
Provide the pinout of a female USB Type-C connector
- Number of pins (24)
- VBUS and GND pins
- USB 2.0 pins
- All other pins
This gives us a 0-4 score on how useful a models' pinout would be if implemented. A score of 4 means the full USB Type-C spec could be implemented (as long as the necessary logic and microcontrollers are included on the connector itself)
Pin| Use | Use |Pin
---|------|------|---
A12| GND | GND |B1 # Ground
A11| RX2+ | TX2+ |B2 # USB3.1 SS
A10| RX2- | TX2- |B3 # USB3.1 SS
A9| VBUS | VBUS |B4 # Power
A8| SBU1 | CC2 |B5 # CC2: PD / StS | SBU1: Sideband use
A7| D- | D+ |B6 # USB2
A6| D+ | D- |B7 # USB2
A5| CC1 | SBU2 |B8 # CC1: PD / StS | SBU2: Sideband use
A4| VBUS | VBUS |B9 # Power
A3| TX1- | RX1- |B10 # USB3.1 SS
A2| TX1+ | RX1+ |B11 # USB3.1 SS
A1| GND | GND |B12 # Ground
