Introduction
- You can add 2 additional USB ports to the Pandaboard development platform.
Materials
These are the materials you will need in addition to your Pandaboard.
- A PC USB Thingy
- A 2 x 4 pin header .1" centers
Pinout
- Detail of one of the Thingy's pigtails
The Red (VCC) wire will connect to J6 Pin 1 (USB Port 3) or 2 (USB Port 4)
The White (D-) wire will connect to J6 Pin 3 (USB Port 3) or 4 (USB Port 4)
The Green (D+) wire will connect to J6 Pin 5 (USB Port 3) or 6 (USB Port 4)
The Black (Gnd) wire will connect to J6 Pin 7 (USB Port 3) or 8 (USB Port 4)
The fifth pin (shield) is not connected.
Earlier versions of the Pandaboard had connections for the shield, but they were dropped in favour of some additional GPIOs.
