Overview

Adapter is an open-source printed circuit board by strfry, from the strfry/LG360VR repository on GitHub. It is a 4-layer board of 45.5 × 50 mm with 58 parts on 83 nets, routed with 682 tracks and 103 vias.

It is built around the LD1117S33TR(MS), MH2029-300Y and IRLML2244TRPBF. Its parts include 19 resistors, 18 capacitors, 5 connectors, 3 ICs and 2 switches. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters boards and the STM32 boards of this library.

Summary

This about making the LG 360 VR Goggles usable with a normal DisplayPort outlet.

The LG360VR uses the "DisplayPort over USB-C" standard. Our assumption is, that with little hardware effort, we can send a DisplayPort signal into it.

Current State of things

  • A passive PCB Adapter has been manufactured, though it doesn't work
  • Currently in the process of analyzing USB-PD communication, to figure out if this is the problem
    • Resolution: USB-PD Handshake is definitely necessary to get a display connection
  • Now designing a new PCB with STM32F072 for PD Handshake and DisplayPort Redriver IC

Questions

How big is the Adapter PCB?

It measures 45.5 × 50 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Adapter use?

58 parts, built around the LD1117S33TR(MS), MH2029-300Y and IRLML2244TRPBF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Adapter KiCad files?

From the strfry/LG360VR repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is adapter/Adapter.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Adapter design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask strfry before reusing the design.
