Ruideng TC66 / TC66C USB Type-C Tester - Way too good for just USB!

Follow
TheHWcave

This is my review of the TC66/TC66C USB Tester from Ruideng. The TC66 is complicated and USB TypeC is complicated too, this is why this video is longer than normal, even though I already decided to move a lot of detail into a second video that explains USB TypeC (only as far as needed for using the TC66) and how the INA226 chip inside the TC66 does its magic.

If its too much to take, just watch the bits you are most interested in.
Spoiler alert: The TC66 is a great USB tester and way too good to be used just for that.
