USB dongle

Enjoying the course which is very interesting. Apologies if this is a silly question but I do not understand the instructions about plugging in the USB dongle. Is this part of the battery board in the Freaklabs kit? Just a little confused as to how to plug it in, as I cannot locate anything in the kit with a USB plug.




Hi. I've attached a picture of what should have come with your kit. There should be a USB to serial device there and it's the thing with the 6-pin red and black cable connecting to it. You will need to provide a USB Mini-B cable to complete the connection to the computer though. These can usually be acquired on Amazon or at electronics shops.  I've also attached a pic of the mini-B USB cable below.

Hope that helps. 

Oops, here is the pic of the kit
