After using Micro USB ports to power arduino projects and other general purpose low power projects, I decided it was time to move to USB-C for power delivery,
USB-C can handle up to 5 amps versus 2 amps for Micro USB. Also as most people already know USB-C is also flippable which makes use easier. Finally, USB-C is touted to have more insertion/remove cycles durability then Micro USB.
This is just a quick video showing the differences in power delivery between the two ports. I am hoping to use USB-C in an upcoming revision to the Endless Torch project for faster recharge times.
