USB size and type on controller

SV06 Plus

What is the size and type of the USB on the controller? Need to secure a cable and I have already purchased the incorrect one.

You mean the usb port, it’s a USB micro port (not mini, as some will say).

Does the 5v power pin need to be blocked/covered on the usb cable? Ive heard of people frying the printer if they dont block the 5v pin before plugging it into the printer.

4

it is a good idea to block the power pin for ALL creality based control boards as it prevents the board and screen drawing power from the usb when the power supply is off

Rossco,
