I'm trying to make a 'usb mini female to usb mini female' interfacing cable for a project I am working on. It has to go between a Arduino Nano and a mini usb bulkhead.
The bulkhead part has usb mini male on both sides. I thought one was female....doh.
I first soldered all 5 pins straight through and had both connectors the same...didn't work. Then I thought maybe pin 4 was not supposed to be connected, so I unsoldered it on one end...didn't work.
Then I thought I got the wrong 'pin 4' ( got male and female pinouts mixed up) so I re-soldered the first wire back on and disconnected the new 'pin 4'...didn't work.
Have Googled to see if I can find a wiring diagram but cannot find exactly my situation.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
I didn't think I would have to swap D+ and D- wires at one end, but is that my mistake?
I don't want to keep on desoldering and soldering wires until i get it right, as the connectors are very small and the heat will eventually damage them ( although I have a very small tip, and Mag lamp...)so they will not be fit for use.
