  1. The difference between the mini-USB port on the original LabQuest vs the LabQuest 2 is that the LabQuest 2’s socket is a USB On-The-Go port which allows it to function as both a host or a device in the USB protocol. As such, the LabQuest 2 uses a Mini-AB USB socket which will accept both mini-B connectors (the standard cable to connect to a computer) and mini-A connectors (like those on the EasyTemp and EasyLink). The original LabQuest doesn’t have the electronics to function this way on the USB Mini port, so it just has a Mini-B socket. A Mini-A connector has a slightly different shape, so it is not designed to fit into a Mini-B socket. \u21a9\ufe0e<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
