    USB headers are usually labeled such, for example FPUSB, JUSB, USB1, things like that. - a pin is left missing on the board and on the connector in one corner to help you get it the right way round.

    I understand.. that would be easy if that was the case but the USB cable end is strggly and the individual plugs are not in a housing so that I can plug in easily... I need to know which colour wire fits on which pin so I think I need a diagram... but where can I find one?? thanks for responding
