Need a 12V barrel plug adapter to PD (Supplying power to display from mac)

[Fortune123]

Im trying to power this controller board for an lcd display I have.

Its powered by a 12V barrel plug adapter meant to be plugged into a wall. I want this to work as a second screen for my mac and thus must be portable. Does anyone know of a usbc to barrel plug adapter that will supply the Controller Board power from my mac's battery? 

Something like this I believe:

But I need it to have a male usbc so I dont have to buy another wire.

the main issue is, i dont think you are going to get 12v from the port. wouldn't it be easier to use a power inverter?

Why not? Does PD not give DC power? Also preferably amazon or ebay america

[Fortune123]

I could also just use the board I posted about before and this one:

So male to male usbc and the barrel plug to femal usbc

USB-PD is designed to supply upto 20V/5A(100W). However, the available power is offered at 4 different levels- 7.5W, >15W, >27W, >45W. The available voltages for each level can be checked from this graph-

 

 

Also, in order to select the amount of power you want to draw, USB-PD requires the two connected devices to communicate to each other(a "handshake" has to be made to select the appropriate power/voltage level).

 

Since your display requires 12V(and probably around 2A, as most displays do), you would have to build a logic circuit to communicate with your MacBook via the same USB cable and then hook it to a buck/boost converter to regulate the voltage to 12V.

^Both of these are meant to supply power TO the MacBook and not draw power FROM it, hence these only supply the required power and won't allow you to draw power from the USB port. 

 

If you want to design your own circuit to handshake with your device, I would recommend starting here and here.

 

If not, I too would say to go with a 12V adapter or a battery to power your display, it would add a bit of hassle but is a much simpler solution.

alrighty

although according to DIY perks video which I watched, it involved a small controller for converting the DC power on the board. Apparently thats inside the amazon link I sent and according too the reviews, it draws power FROM the mac

Yeah it seems some people have used it to draw power from a charger or power bank as shown in the video, but make sure that the USB port on your MacBook allow you to draw that kind of power (I'm not sure but I think they are limited to about 15W). Do update if you get it working.

Alright I definitely will. Probably wont be for another week or so though :\. Ill post something about everything I made
