I have a couple PJRC usb cables lying around and want to use serial1 to send data from my pc. you think I just cut the wires I believe green to 1 (transmit) and white to 0(receive)?? for serial1. obviously I would presume sticking some header pins in and soldering or something haha lols
have a good day to everyone replying and reading!

This will not work, UART and USB are very different types of signals.

Ok! Thanks mate <3

I need some direction from here because I want the teensy in my pc as mouse but also receiving serial strings

I have a teensy usb soldered on already

and was using the <usbhost_t36.h> lib
USBSerial mySerial(myusb)

void setup(){

myusb.begin etc
}

but from my pc that was supposed to send the strings when I plugged the teensy in from the usb shield it didn't detect a thing

is there a more natural way to do this or am I getting it wrong.
thanks
have a wonderful day

You don't need to use the USB Host port for that. Just connect the PC to the Teensy's regular USB mini port and read/write to Serial, not Serial1.

Yes thank you you are a hundred percent correct. I am sorry with my laziness. I have 2 pcs and want the teensy to be the middle.
