Compatibility
This cable works with any device featuring a Micro USB port, including most Android phones (pre-USB-C), Bluetooth speakers, digital cameras, and microcontrollers like the Arduino Leonardo, NodeMCU, and ESP32-DevKitC. It provides a standard 5V supply, so always verify your board’s input tolerance before connecting.
Wiring Notes
Insert the Micro USB connector carefully—its asymmetrical shape prevents reverse insertion. For data transfers without power issues, avoid using unpowered USB hubs; connect directly to a computer’s USB port. The cable’s power lines can deliver up to 2.4A, adequate for most single-board computers and charging circuits.
