Quoted from lucky1:You could also have achieved that by shifting the pins 1 row in the connector because every second is GND.
Even though what you’re saying about the ground row is above my knowledge bank, it would seem that when the plug is on the bottom the relative pins switch (how would pin 1 get its data if we shifted the wires over one?). However I don’t think what you’re saying jives with our results either, as we did slide the cable one pin over in an early attempt to get it working, which I believe would place wire 13 to pin 14.
Quoted from lucky1:On the output to the RGB panels or on the input ?
This would be the input to the PIN2DMD board. It was this plug that came both upside down and 14 shorted with 2.
Quoted from lucky1:That is exactly what the cable shipped with the first kit does.
Though I could be wrong, I’m not so sure about your use of the word exactly. It certainly didn’t work as it was shipped.
