## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA4175:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA4175:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

As technology changes and adapts, so does Adafruit, and speaking of *adapting*, this ***adapter*** has a USB A plug and a USB C socket so your older computer or laptop can catch up to the latest USB Type C.

USB C is the latest industry-standard connector for transmitting data *and* power. Like Lightning and MagSafe cables, USB C has no up or down orientation. And who among Adafruit has inserted USB A correctly the first time?

Works great with any device that has a USB A port and will let you attach a USB C cable. Works best with USB 3 ports, since they're faster, but will work just fine on USB 1 or 2. These adapters don't magically give you USB C speeds if you are using a USB 2.x port, and they wont give you the power negotiation stuff because your computer doesn't have that built in. So it's strictly for devices that use 5V and up to 1A.
