Got a question.
Recently I bought a MP3 player at a dirt cheap bargain...only problem is it needs a mini USB cable which I cannot find anywhere. I did manage to find a similar cable which slightly modified does fit into the player's port, but when I plug it into PC the devices do not detect each other...my question.
How do I figure out which pin of the device's USB goes to which pin of the USB port on PC so I can modify this cable to work with the player. Can it be done with a multimeter or will I need something more complex like an scope?
thank you in advance,
