Title: arduino usb plug and programming questions
Post by: mblackwolf on August 26, 2011, 08:23:05 AM

So I have a really easy dumb question. I am ordering a arduino mega 2560 to start working with. I was wondering about the usb connection. The plug i will need will be a usb A/B cable but is the plug on the arduino a B or mini-B so I make sure I have the right cord. Thanks.

Also, While I am here can you program the arduino mega 2560 using C/C++? Thanks

Hey im not sure about the USB cable, but judging by the pictures it is a STANDARD A/B cable.

The arduino IS programmed , using the arduino environment, in a slightly different version of C.
