Careful Testing Reveals USB Cable Duds

What’s worse than powering up your latest build for the first time only to have absolutely nothing happen? OK, maybe it’s not as bad as releasing the Magic Smoke, but it’s still pretty bewildering to have none of your blinky lights blink like they’re supposed to.

What you do at that point is largely a matter of your troubleshooting style, and when [Scott M. Baker]’s Raspberry Pi jukebox build failed to chooch, he returned to first principles and checked the power cable. That turned out to be the culprit, but instead of giving up there, he did a thorough series of load tests on multiple USB cables to see which ones were suspect, with interesting results.

[Scott] originally used a cable with a USB-A on one end and a 3.5-mm barrel plug on the other with a switch in between, under the assumption that the plug on the Pi end would be more robust, as well as to have a power switch for the jukebox. Testing that cable using an adjustable DC load would prove that the cable was unfit for Pi duty, dropping the voltage to under 2 volts at a measly 500-mA load. Other cables proved much better…

Studs and duds from Broncos' 2022 season

(Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports)

The Broncos’ 2022 season began with hope. A new ownership group, a new franchise quarterback, a young head coach and staff, along with several new free agent additions. A tough opening game loss at Seattle was followed by close wins against the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers. Things took a turn during the latter half of September through October, when Denver lost four in a row, three of those games by one score. The Broncos flew across the Atlantic, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. It was almost 50 days until Denver won again, and just shy of 85 days from the 49ers victory (September 25) until the Broncos’ next win on American soil, against the Arizona Cardinals (December 18). A Christmas meltdown led to then-head coach Nathaniel Hackett’s firing after 15 games, the shortest non-interim head coaching tenure in franchise history. Interim coach Jerry Rosberg led Denver to two close games against the top two AFC West foes in the Kansas City Chiefs and Angeles Chargers.

We examine several studs and duds from this season.

McBride not only had his first NFL touchdown, but he also led the Cardinals in receiving with seven catches for 78 yards. His play has improved steadily since getting more playing time after the season-ending injury to Zach Ertz.

Bradley played his first game for the Cardinals in place of Aaron Brewer. His snaps on field goals were low, leading to the one missed kick by Matt Prater, the different in the game. He appeared to also miss an assignment when Andy Lee’s punt was blocked.

Prater’s four field goals accounted for 12 of the Cardinals’ 19 points and his 57-yard field goal gave the Cardinals the lead before the Falcons made the game-winning field goal.
