I used the PPM adapter and the PPM USB-C cable, hooking this into one of my USB-C breakout boards, looping to a second breakout board that goes into the PPM itself. Only ground and CC1+CC2 pins are connected. Then I connected one of my multimeters between VBUS on breakout 1 and breakout 2, measuring the current. The second, less fancy, multimeter just measures the voltage between VBUS and ground. The voltage stays between 15.45V and 15.5V depen…
