Hi there, I received my OAK D-Lite shipment today and I'm having fun getting going with it. When I placed the order I ordered some accessories, one of which was the "USB Y Splitter" for injecting USB C power where an underpowered USB host (like the Raspberry Pi) doesn't introduce instability. Between placing my order and it arriving, I came across a Reddit post that raised concerns about the auto-negotiation of USB voltages, and that up to 20v can be delivered down to a device that can support it, and some "dumb" Y splitters could cause damage to 5v only devices.
As I really don't want to risk damaging my shiny new OAK-D, I thought it was worth asking if this problem could affect the Y Splitter sold on the Luxonis store. I did have a quick search through the forum to see if the question had been asked before but couldn't find anything.
Any advice gratefully received!
Cheers,
Harry.
