Hi,

I'm new in the z-uno world.
I'm using the z-uno shield to build a multiple sensor device.

Can I still make use of the USB port (to have the serial monitor available when debugging my sketch) when the Z-UNO is plugged into the shield?
I remember I've read somewhere it is not allowed to use the USB port when the z-uno receives power from another source (in this case the shield).

Could it work if I patch a USB cable by cutting the USB VCC (+5V) wire?


Thanks for the help.

Hello,

I've patched a USB cable (No VCC wire anymore) and used it with the Z-UNO plugged into the Shield.

All works OK. I can download the sketch and monitor the running sketch on the serial monitor.
