Re: My Next eelmod: G4 Cube w/ Videos

I couldn't help but notice an end of an apple cable in the picture of the os 9 boot up. I'm hoping its a adc to vga adapter. Is it? I really want to see a proper picture of one.

Ive seen one picture of a similar looking cable on an auction on ebay once, bundled with a cube power supply. I know they used to make little boxes that had the adapter and power supply for use with vga output.

Looking great btw! Also have you considered a server 1u cooler, with a blower style fan, I bought one ages ago to use in some mini style build, never got round to it, hopefully soon though. Anyway, it does make some noise, but i guess an aftermarket fan could be put on, to blow air down onto the heatsink and across the motherboard. Might not actually be that useful, anyway, the one i have is a Dynatron, but akasa make them too. http://www.dynatron-corp.com/en/product_list.aspx?cv=1-4-281

Too much! It goes under the heading of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it!"

Not yet, got the pico but the brick is back ordered lol
So I will finish up the other ones and button mine up and then wait.

As soon as I get the brick I will post with it all and specs and temps all checked out.

Re: My Next eelmod: G4 Cube w/ Videos

HALPS!!!
OKs so I still lack the PICO power brick so I am using a regular PSU to do this for now


So I followed minihacks guide to getting my touch sensor to work.

I did the resistor off the LED to the #2 on the plug - from that I put it to LED+

#1 goes to 5v constant

#4 I put to PWR+
#5 I put to PWR-

so thing is when the board is not running LED is on and as soon as I touch the sensor it turns on the board but the LED goes out ??

So any Ideas? I swapped the PWR ones around, I put the #2 on to the LED- instead of +

Also I have the back plate the that touch sensor is on grounded with it to the groung on a 4 pin molex off the PSU for testing.
