Pinecil V2 reboots with MacBook Pro (M2 Max) PD

Author: abjugardCreated Aug 24, 2026Updated Aug 24, 2026

Describe the bug It cycles through power state 3, then 6, then 12 and reboots.

This only happens when a tip is in place, if I try without a tip installed it stays at "State 3", and normal mode boots as it should.

To Reproduce

  1. Connect to MacBook Pro (M2 Max) PD
  2. Observe device negotiating then rebooting.
  3. Connect with (+) pressed, see "State 3" -> "State 6" -> "State 12", before reboot

Expected behavior Whatever power is provided via USB PD properly negotiate it so the iron will use only supported ones. Ideally when power not sufficient to iron but sufficient for powering up it should display the limitation
