Title: Basic USB-C Load (sink)
Post by: dav888 on October 27, 2021, 07:37:40 pm

Looking for the most basic USB-C sink, similar to these, but even more basic http://avhzy.com (http://avhzy.com) or https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Electronic-Adjustable-Intelligent-Temperature/dp/B07FL3PS57 (https://www.amazon.com/DROK-Electronic-Adjustable-Intelligent-Temperature/dp/B07FL3PS57)

just need something that presents itself as a sink (over PD) and applies a load
controllable over gpio/uart/usb

preferably open source (schematic)

Do you already have a general purpose programmable DC load?  If not, it is worth getting one, or even building one.
Then you just need a USB C PD decoy trigger module that suits your voltage/power rating.
