I guess they never miss huh <:huh:527482704191815681>

2019-02-12 04:30:37 UTC  

Do you have an extra PSU around?

2019-02-12 04:30:56 UTC  

Who doesn't?

2019-02-12 04:31:12 UTC  

Me

2019-02-12 04:31:35 UTC  

Useless and bluepilled

2019-02-12 04:31:45 UTC  

I can get one on Amazon in 4 hours, and I replaced my old one for not being good enough.

2019-02-12 04:32:15 UTC  

Actually no, this previous one got put in gfs build

2019-02-12 04:32:36 UTC  

But hey, some people are hoarders. It's worth asking.

2019-02-12 04:35:08 UTC  

Once you realise what shit you can do with a 5v/12v psu. it's worth to buy small batch from mister chong.

2019-02-12 04:35:16 UTC  

At least imo

2019-02-12 05:36:50 UTC  

Does anyone have any specific USB A and Mini B connectors to recommend on AliExpress?

2019-02-12 05:37:12 UTC  

I need some for some custom cable projects, but I don't know which to buy. There's a lot of weird formations on many of them.

2019-02-12 06:03:25 UTC  

What do you mean by different formation?

2019-02-12 06:04:40 UTC  

He means probly Raw connectors

2019-02-12 06:09:12 UTC  
2019-02-12 06:10:38 UTC  

As nice as these options look, I am only more lost.

2019-02-12 06:11:20 UTC  

Hahhaha

2019-02-12 06:11:35 UTC  

I think I'm good now.

2019-02-12 06:12:16 UTC  

Not sure if I should get a 4 or 5-contact male mini B, though.

2019-02-12 06:15:41 UTC  

5th pin is used rarely on usb devices

2019-02-12 06:16:02 UTC  

So depends on your aplication

2019-02-12 06:16:10 UTC  

That's only used for identification or something, right?

2019-02-12 06:16:42 UTC  

I'm just looking to make some custom USB cables for my keyboard and other devices.

2019-02-12 06:17:30 UTC  

Its more like "special usecases" but yeah you wont need it

2019-02-12 06:18:53 UTC  

Shipping cost doesn't seem worth it on LCSC. At least, not for the quantity of products I'll be buying.

2019-02-12 06:19:00 UTC  

Seemed kinda obvious. I was more thinking of male connectors..

2019-02-12 06:19:17 UTC  

Though, I do think there is a new user coupon somewhere.

2019-02-12 06:19:52 UTC  

$4.67 for shipping after adding just 10 mini B connectors.

2019-02-12 06:20:27 UTC  

I have to buy $15+ in items too, or there's an extra charge.

2019-02-12 06:21:19 UTC  

@NC also 5th pin is used by "otg" to determine master-slave setting

2019-02-12 06:21:37 UTC  

So keep that in mind

2019-02-12 06:21:53 UTC  

I won't need that tech for my use cases, so it should be fine.

2019-02-12 06:22:13 UTC  

You don't have to buy at lsc. Just use it as comparison if you prefer ali vendors.

2019-02-12 06:22:42 UTC  

Problem is on both Ali and BasedGood, nobody sells males.

2019-02-12 06:22:47 UTC  

It's all females from what I saw.

2019-02-12 06:23:19 UTC  

Oh, I was confused.

2019-02-12 06:23:28 UTC  

I see my error now.

2019-02-12 06:24:04 UTC  

I though the males were pre-snapped/glued. I was looking for ones without the plastic housings.

2019-02-12 06:24:09 UTC  

Tried local hardware dealers ?

2019-02-12 06:25:13 UTC  

There may be a Fry's or Radioshack, not sure. I think the ones near me have closed.

2019-02-12 06:25:28 UTC  

I don't want to overpay and use up gas to get a few small items, though.
