Good morning all.
I have been using Teensy 3.2 micro-controllers for a project very successfully. For various reasons, I have to solder the PC-USB cable to the reverse of the board (mainly, no room for a USB plug), and I have done that successfully several times with no issues, as the pads are clearly identified.
However, I have now moved the project to the Teensy 4.1, and it is working. However, I need to sort out the solder points for the four PC-USB wires. I note that D+ and D- are clearly identified on the new 4.1 board, but with the 3.2, I also connect the PC-USB-Red to the large upper pad (USB+) and PC-USB-Black to the large lower pad (GND).
Could someone kindly tell me where on the T4.1 board should I connect the PC-USB-Red and the PC-USB-Black wires from the PC-USB cable? I note that there are 4 nearby (smaller) plated through holes and wondered whether I should use any of those for the PC-USB-Red and the PC-USB-Black wires? I don't really wish to play Russian Roulette with those two connections, because it looks to me as though all of them actually connect to the micro-USB socket case - if so I'd be shorting the PC-USB+ and GND!
Any advice will be gratefully received!
