Hi erik - if it was designed for the purpose I'm sure it will be fine, but thanks for the follow up.

Hi erik Is there any news on the Roboflow course stretch goal for the D-Lite kickstarters (such as a release date, etc)? I couldn't find anything in the kickstarter updates or forums, but apologies if I've missed it.

Cheers,
Harry.

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.
