USB head question
I am wanting to splice a new usb head to a piece of equipment (a AT&T MObley). The original head is toast. Are all USB heads the same?
Forum Discussion
- Still don't know if the mentioned cable is what the OP was referring?
IMO, it's not worth the time to splice or more appropriately solder a replacement male USB connector when a cable is already available. Tom wrote:
If you read through that thread it says that power can not be applied using the micro USB socket. You need an adapter like the one 1492 posted.
Yes sir. I did not attempt to give advice on power supplies. I gave advice on the question of 'are all USB connections ..........' The original post never asked for power supply information. My reply had a picture of a tether for someone else who did not know of the USB port on the Mobley.
I have a Mobley and I have the USB power supply with female OBD II to 12 volt barrel connector, this allows me to also use a 12 volt wall brick or my cigarette lighter cord with barrel connector.
A better response on my end would have explained the USB pin out. I chose not to put the time into that subject on one of these threads.
There are far too many experts here for myself.
