Hello All My son was playing around with my stuff and took the ribbon cable off the MK USB board. I didn't have it documented as to the orientation and I was wondering if someone can help verify which way it plugs in. I assume that the ribbon cable gets plugged in the same way it would plug into the MK boards with the red stripe on the right hand side but I wasn't sure. I didn't want to plug it in backwards and fry something.
Hi Dave: See below. Note dabs of red nail varnish. Not that I have ever accidentally yanked the cable off, right. Andy
I messed it up so many times I wrote "up USB" on one side of the cable and "up MK" on the other end (when I knew it was correct). I also used a silver sharpy to write on the GPS shield with an arrow >> "USB" so I knew where to plug in. I also leave a Cable on the ESC programming prongs after they hit my Power distribution board once and killed my FC and my Nav board.
