Weak micro-USB connector on the Arduino Pro Micro #6

Closed tshort closed 7 years ago

I had one break off. My keyboard is still usable. It's still plugged in on the right side. I'm okay as long as I don't want to reprogram my left side:).

This is a known problem with these cheap knock-off controllers.

I should redesign this to use a separate full-size USB connection and wire that to the Arduino Pro Micro.

Fixed in the latest design. It uses a full-size USB connection.

Do you use an extension cable between the promicro and the printed case ? If yes, which one ?
