## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA1197:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA1197:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Mini or Micro? Mini or Micro??? Mini AND Micro! This is a handy USB cable, it's compact so you can toss it into your toolkit, and has both Mini-B and Micro-B connector. Now you can hook up your LiPo Charger **or** a Arduino Micro/Leonardo/Raspberry Pi using the same cable, sweet!
 
 Approximately 8" long from end to end, its a little more compact than Adafruit's classic 3' long cable
 
 This cable does not contain a hub, so you can only connect **one** USB device at a time (to either end). The micro end does data and power, the mini side only does power (not data)

USB cable - 8" A to Mini B and Micro B ([0:11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kuBqpIIPpGI#t=11))
