In this video we make a cable to connect a 6V battery pack with a 9V adapter to a USB Type-A female socket, which we can then use to connect a USB Type-A male through Type-B micro for powering my microcontroller.
We use the METCAL PS-900 Soldering Station to solder our cables.
We use the EEVblog BM2257 Digital Multimeter to test voltage and continuity.
We use the Horusdy Soldering Station with Hot Air Gun to shrink our heat shrink.
