Mini USB Connector

agravanea asked:

Im going to be doing some electronics work soon, and im looking at a cir brd with a spot for a serial port connector. instead of buying one of those and soldering it to the board, can i use a molex connector and just put a usb port there or will that not work?
thats basically what im asking though, I have to program the pics and isd chip, so i could somehow change the 4 pin connection on the board to a usb rather than a serial right? with software?

I have a number of gadgets ( camera’s phones, gps…) that have come with their own mini usb cable to attach to the computer. (mini usb for the device / standard usb connector for the computer) They seem interchangeable , is there any downside to using a cable that didn’t come from the OEM

I have to give a presentation with my laptop, a Dell Studio 14z, and unfortunately, Dell decided to not put a VGA port on the thing.

The projector I’m using has a VGA, S-Video, and Component in ports.

I also don’t want to spend $100+ on this either, so if I’m SOL, just let me know.

I also have a Displayport, and I found on Dell.com that they have a Displayport to VGA adapter, but my computer is not listed as compatible, as well as there is a review saying it didn’t work with it.

I was told about a USB to VGA connector, but that was over $100, which I really don’t want to drop on this.

Any viable answer is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Brian.
