Hey I'm new to building circuits and microcontrollers and I'm attempting to put one together but I'm having trouble with all the options when it comes to picking out parts. I'm trying to make a microcontroller that is powered and connected to my computer via usb port (it will always stay tethered) and just controls a bunch of digital pots and relays, but just picking out a usb connector is proving overwhelming. If I want to plug everything into a breadboard first to test it out, what kind of mounting type do I want? Do I want board lock? What is a flange? Lol, is there a tutorial on all these specs somewhere?
Thanks,
Bert
