    Can someone explain proper USB cables

    Recently bought a SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout - 5V card and am not clear as to wiring for the 16188051 PCM.

    This is how I made my LT1 cable with FTDI232 card (video below) and it works about 97% of the time, now I want to make another cable using the Sparkfun FTDI Basic Breakout board since I see that it has good reviews on this forum.

    Reading the comments in that video some guys don't use the resistor or diode?

    Then I read about the difference between a USB charging and "data" cable here:

    Again resistors are brought up....any clarification is appreciated, ie which cable, resistors or no resistors etc
