Does anyone know where to find a USB Micro-A to USB C cord? (beehaw.org)

I wish this was a joke. Bosch used USB Micro-A on some of their e-bike motors to connect to a phone, which is USB C. The only one I've been able to find is the one Bosch made that's like 3 inches long and basically useless.

Would an extension cable work for you?

[–] SteevyT@beehaw.org 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That was my suggestion too, single cable would be preferred.

To help with the extension idea, they could glue together the connection (I use Goop adhesive, super strong, but removable). You could also heat shrink the connection.

Heat shrink is the way I would go, but man, Im not sure how well that's going to work with the end coming off the short cable being a 90° connector.
