So, I bought a barcode scanner:

I'm wanting to do something abnormal, of course, because using an electronic device as-is just isn't good enough. It works great when plugged directly into a computer via USB. When I try to solder leads directly onto the VCC, GND, D+, and D- pins and then connect those to a Raspberry Pi, it doesn't show up. I then tested continuity in the cable it comes with it - basically one of these:

I get continuity between VCC and GND but not D+ and D-. Does anyone know what's going on, here?
