Thank you.

I didn't realize I had the wrong pic in the wrong place on the tutorial I'm sorry here are the jumper locations I will fix my tutorial Thanks for pointing it out Hugs

So what is that thing the dot in the other picture is pointing at for???

looks like a 8pin slot to add another chip to add on options

LOL good question I will have to open someones SSC32 board and look at the manual I not using that board for my props I'm using a COW maybe The Captain can tell you.


Redmond I opened your SSC32 board to look at the manual

it is a expansion socket for add ons Its called a EEPROM socket

The picture show th' jumpers set fer 115K baud rate, bu' tha's not important, wots important is tha the SAME rate be set in VSA.

I am getting ready to run one of the skulls and I want to make sure the power jack is wired correctly.

I included a picture of the wiring I have done so far. I hot glued around the wire (as I had the soldering iron) as I want to be able to re-wire if I need to. I want to make sure it's wired right so I don't burn out my controller.

Any thoughts, comments, concerns?

Oh and don't mind the hot glue on the sides. I was just filling in a hole.

Thank you.

Since there is not enough in the picture to trace back to the correct wires I can't tell if you have it wired correctly, if the Captain was helping you then I will leave the answer to him,maybe he can tell

I have a couple concerns...


1. Did you say that you hot glued the wires to the contacts INSTEAD of soldering them??

If so, that will be a big problem. If the hot glue is just over the solder connection, then that's fine.

2. The other concern is that it appears you have connected the black wire to the tip part of the jack.



Conventional wiring is that Black is the Ground, or Negative and the Red wire would be your 5VDC, or 6VDC, whichever you are using. It is also most common that the shield part of any plug or jack is the negative, and the tip is almost always positive.

That is not the case 100 percent of the time, but it is most of the time.

So, if your black wire IS indeed the ground, and the red wire really IS the positive, and you have really wired the ground to the tip and the positive to the shield, it is probably backwards.

The other thing is we can't see where the wires come from or where they go, so there isn't anything absolute that I can say about the wiring because I can't see those other parts.

Just from what you have shown, it APPEARS to be wired backwards, but I can't tell for sure without seeing more.

Here is a better picture. I just removed the hot glue and switched the wires around.

There is also a prong at the front that I left alone. The other two prongs have holes in them.

The other thing is we can't see where the wires come from or where they go, so there isn't anything absolute that I can say about the wiring because I can't see those other parts

Thanks HB that is what I couln't tell , for the very same reason..
