Hello, got Nucleo F439 kit, amazed to see no cables in it.

Wanted to check if the cable "USB Micro-B connector (CN1)" is same for "USB Micro-AB connector (CN13)" connected in reverse?

Cause Im not able to identify cable "USB Micro-AB" to buy.

    Cables are never included in NUCLEO and DISCOVERY kits because this increases costs and, above all, the amount of waste.

    • A Micro-AB socket accepts both Micro-A and Micro-B plugs and can therefore be used for USB OTG (device or host).
    • A Micro-B socket only accepts Micro-B plugs only and can therefore only be used as a USB device.

    Details can be seen in the photos on Wikipedia, for example.

    Hope that helps?
