What is it?
The ATORCH J7-c is a USB load meter which can measure various properties for USB devices including their voltage, amperage, wattage, resistance, capacity, temperature, data line voltage, and charging mode. It features the following connectors :
- USB-A male ( USB 2.0 only )
- USB-A female ( USB 2.0 only)
- USB-C male
- USB-C female
- USB-microB female
Protocol
The device communicates through serial-over-Bluetooth (RFCOMM), appearing under the UC96_SPP name, and BLE, under the UC96_BLE name. The manufacturer provides an app name "E_Test" for Android and iOS, but no protocol documentation, although it appears that the protocol has been fully reverse-engineered [2]. The same protocol is used both on the BLE and Bluetooth link.
Hardware
A CH573F MCU is responsible for performing all the measurements and managing the user interface.
A small SOIC-8 IC ( marking BP0D608-68A2) handles the Bluetooth communication ( both RFCOMM and BLE ).
