I have checked a bit around and see nothing out of boundaries in any of his 4 interactions with the site.
A Q/A, a comment to its answer, the comment below to the witch and this opening message...
Am I missing something?
If not... I hope that what he smoked can be used as tee or in a brownie too, because I want a bit too. Problem is that my lungs won't accept smoke anymore.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Beats me. I've only interacted with him here. His post suggested angst because he couldn't get a programming question across and then was pompous enough to suggest we're lucky that he won't bother us. In his mind, maybe he thought he was being funny... he's not. About time he learned to interact with grown ups.

He has been here for years under different accounts and gets very tetchy if anyone dares to suggest that he formats his code in questions, or reads the manual. Was thrown off the site late last year for becoming abusive. And this is his second account since then. He also seems to think that we are all too stupid to recognise him from the first new message.

So there's a little thing called a "Grove port" which is simply a 4 wire connector of a particular form factor. Nothing complicated, just Grove implies a particular size and subset of functionality vs a general purpose connector, but is physically otherwise no different. Simple as could be.
So how can they screw this up?
I ordered some "Grove" connectors either from makerfabs or m5 - I can't remember which company. Well it was murder trying to fit the connector into the Grove port.
Finally I realized that the release clip was too large.
Lacking a pair of pliers near at hand, I bit the damned release clip off.
Fits like a charm now.
Seriously, how hard is it to screw up something so basic?

I could not find a specification either for the actual wiring and definitely not for the connector.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That is not close to a specification.
In contrast I looked for "usb-c specification" and found one right away.

You asked for the wiring. That has the wiring.
As far as the size of the plug, that information is also available.
Even if you take exception to the way it is presented, your exception does not matter. The information is there.

No I asked for a "specification". I used that word as I expect it to be used.
For example RFC 9113 is one of the vast number of RFCs that specify how HTTP works.
And if I google for "usb-c specification" I find something that looks like a specification also. Perhaps not as independent as one would prefer but at least quite a few people agree to it.
And to get even more general as an example there is the "American wire gauge" which has a specification as well. It specifies the size of wire.
B258 Standard Specification for Standard Nominal Diameters and Cross-Sectional Areas of AWG Sizes of Solid Round Wires Used as Electrical Conductors[^]
What you provided looks like something that a hobbyist wrote up. And definitely not something that came from a standards body.
Noting of course that you use the word "standards".
Now might be the case that there is in fact no actual standard. If so then the fact that you were able to buy parts that mismatch is no surprising.
But if there is an actual standard then where is it?

It's a "de facto standard"

And thus mismatches are to be expected.

It's not proprietary, but I should have said defacto standard.
Many kits from different vendors also have these ports.

I got interested in learning / working with automotive "standard" OBD.
So I ordered an OBD connector...
My OF and diabetes hands had a hard time joining the connector with OBD Mini Bluetooth adapter.
OBD Mini Bluetooth adapter works fine plugging into the car OBD outlet ...
The usual "excuse" - "they.." use metric...
