Title: micro USB connection into obsidian USB port
Post by: SubmarineMan on September 03, 2015, 02:50:58 PM
Hi all I bough myself a micro USB earlier however I'm struggling to fit it into the USB port on my obsidian board. Are there different types of micro usb's or are American micro USB's different to the UK micro USB's? I have some pics so if anyone could help it would be appreciated ty.

I think you may have the wrong cord there.  It takes a mini USB cord, not micro.

I don't think that'll work. It looks like an android charger. But I may be wrong. The cable I use looks like a trapezoid. Mini sub is what you're looking (http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/03/6bd82ba80d3e2a4036bbf4c22cd54e40.jpg)

If you have a PS3 or PS4 you can use the controller charge cable. It's mini USB.

All are right - a mini USB is required, not micro ;) This is needed for the Emerald Driver as well.

Mini USB are used in PS3/PS4 contollers, the older Garmin GPS (Nuvi 2XX series and the like)  and external USB hard drives

Micro USBs are popular on cellphones.

Both are available by themselves on electronic stores.
