[QUOTE="peejay, post: 117712, member: 1053"] the important thing is, that micro-AB type is only for receptacle. and it's called "AB" as it fits plugs with A-type [rectangular] and B-type [trapezoid]. that's why AB is more like a rounded rectangle with the pins on little plate kinda hanging in the middle. speaking about cables - I've got cables with micro-usb-A [rectangular] for OTG. bought them years ago on ebay. hard to find, tried couple of sellers [as they mistakenly send/sell B-type as A] but in the end bought the right one and kept my RC's port safe :) I tried adapters before that, and for me they're too dangerous to be broken out with the port. sure they fitted great, but the whole contraption being so sturdy and pointing out of the RC, it could be easily hit/caught/tripped [can't find the right word ;)] - I just didn't wanted to risk my port, and was happy to find the right cable. also, I've got one remote controller with micro-B type. the original AB-type port was damaged, so I replaced it with regular trapezoid :) [as said in [URL='https://sparkpilots.com/threads/spark-rc-controller-removable-sticks-mod-possible.17262/']this discussion[/URL]] [/QUOTE]
