Soldering a usb cable onto a teensy?

Post by blazerbot »

Is it possible to have this working by soldering a usb cable to a teensy? My uart thing is on its way, but i'm starting to feel a little impatient.

why you need to solder a usb cable to teensy? it uses the same cable that the ps3 uses to charge its controllers so you should already have a compatible cable

What i mean if i can solder a usb cable to the teensy in place of the uart serial converter device. My uart device hasn't arrived yet, but I'm itching to try this out.

You don't solder anything to the serial converter, unless you've bought one without pins. If you look at the DIY tutorial you'll see that the wires goes from the serial converter pins to the Teensy, which can be soldered if without pins. There's no "USB soldering" at all in this project.

I'm sure the Serial Converter has a function other than being a physical USB connection. Otherwise you'd just use some sort of pin adapter and Matlo would have soldered USB cables directly to the Teensy from the get-go in the tutorials.

I guess you got a point. I guess I'll just wait for the uart device to come through mail.
