Can you recommend a good usb micro adapter? #1

I just bought two of these as they ship from the states: https://www.ebay.com/itm/123872996573

But when using your firmware and a usb mouse my mouse gets no power. I suspect the cheap cables. I have tried ver 1.0 and your most recent 1.3. Same issue. The programs dont give me a mouse card not connected error so I suspect the code is running.

Would appreciate all input.

Just a follow up. I thought it was the cable. I dont have anything usb micro so I turned on an old cell phone in a drawer. I connected my adapter and the usb mouse and it works on the android phone. So Why after loading the firmware into the V2 analog card and connecting the usb adapter to the PI pico does the mouse not illuminate?

Did you do solder the described "VBUS / VSYS" connection, so the PICO port can power a connected device? No power to the connected device sounds like that could be missing: https://github.com/ThorstenBr/A2USB/blob/master/HwModding.md

The IRQ is only required for some software, but the first modification is essential, otherwise the PICO cannot function as a USB host device.
