According to the docs, the Arduino Leonardo uses digital pins 0 and 1 for the USB D- and D+ lines. However, which is which? e.g. is D0=D+ or is D1=D+?
To save space in a very tight project, I want to wire USB directly to these pins instead of using the USB plug, however, I can't find any resource that explains which pin goes to which USB line.
The USB does not go to pins 0 and 1. The UART goes to pins 0 and 1 - that is a totally different interface.
The USB is connected to dedicated USB pins on the chip. If you look at the Leonardo schematic you can see it is pins 3 and 4 on the chip. Note that that is not pins D3 and D4 on the board, but the third and fourth pins anti-clockwise from the "pin 1" dot on the main chip.
As shown in the ATmega32U4 datasheet, D- and D+ connect to pins 3 and 4 respectively of the MCU. But you don't want to wire directly to the chip unless you know what you are doing since the chip does not include the USB termination resistors. Follow the schematics given in the datasheet when connecting to the USB pins of the MCU.
