I want to make usb to a miniusb. I have the points to which it is connected i.e. Usb and miniusb point. I want to know that there four points in the usb point whereas there are five points in miniusb. I want to know to which points should i connect the wires.

here check this out: *pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml

it seems pin 4 in mini usb connector is a dummy pin or used as additional ground.

i remember reading somewhere that the pin 4 is used as ID pin but its not supported by all devices. jus leave it and see whether it works (as stated in the above link)
