PP2081 is a handy board that lets you get more than 5 volts out of your USB-C PD3.0 charger.
How it works
Connect your Type-C charger to the board's USB socket, and the board will provide a safe 5vDC 1A output automatically via the + & - terminals in the middle.
Cut the join in the 5v solder pads (at the top right), and bridge one of the pads below it to make the board output a different voltage (9/12/15/18vDC). If no pads are joined, it will output 20vDC.
The issue
As it turns out, the first shipment has incorrectly-positioned text next to the solder pads to describe what the output voltage will be.
Using the board
Join the pads as follows to set the outputs.
5v joined = 5v output (default)
9v joined = 9v output
15v joined = 12v output
18v joined = 15v output
20v joined = 18v output
No pads joined = 20v output
Note that the 18v output will depend on your charger supporting it specifically.
