Hello,

which wire-in USB Ports are you all using to connect a flash drive for USB logging on EMU Pro?

I’m using Motecs mid-level data usb plug and the corresponding metal port. I just cut the mini-usb off of it and wire the primary 4 usb2.0 wires into the harness and ignore the usb3.0 wires. Its a nice weatherproof solution, but if you aren’t worried about weatherproofing while logging McMaster Carr has some USB bulkheads that can take a regular usb flash drive and have a waterproof cap that can be put on when the flash drive isn’t inserted.
