January 13, 2012 by Anirudha	I have an extra MCU, but have only one cable. I have figured out the extreme terminals on the USB. But it's the two in between I can't. I did it using a Digital Meter. I have an extra cable, which I opened, I know what GND and +5V is, its the data pins I need figuring out.
