Will we be able to USB power mnt reform?

I am happy to report some new options in this space.

AdaFruit now offers USB-C to barrel jack cables. They each support a max 5A draw, are one meter long, and cost eight dollars apiece.

The interesting thing is they’re available in different voltages:

I have now acquired all four variants and can confirm the Reform will charge using any of them. I tested all of them with a PinePower Desktop supply, which doesn’t supply more than three amps for these voltages, but the Reform happily charged from all versions of this cable.

Enjoy!
