hi,

Im just looking into this mod again, and wondered if you had a pin-out for the pins connecting the boards? Im wondering if i can make all the (if there are more than 1) ground pins common and such, to cut down on wires. Otherwise it looks like 16 core cable is going to be needed.

thanks in ...

ok thanks for the info! ill post some pics when its done

RoB

thanks for the reply miles, do you have any idea of a max length? as i say im trying to use the front part as an external display only, so less than a metre or so isnt much use!
i expected the warranty to be voided....very few pieces of computer equipment i own still have one...

Hi,

This is probably a bit of a silly question, but is the front board of an MX222 effectively just a parallel display? Can i desolder then two boards and connect them together with a 1 or 1.5m long, 16core wire, to make a thinner external display and keep all the GPO controls inside my case ...

ahhh..

so does that mean i do only need to connect it to the USB port (its a internal mobo header so should give enough current!) as i want to 6 LEDs in parallel off each advanced GPO (ie 6RBG LEDs each colour on a different fan channel) and have a couple of the low power GPOs with an LED on for ...

thanks a lot!

thats great!

RoB

hello again,

could you please confirm something for me,

If i am only using all the GPOs to control LEDs do i need the 12V supply rail or just the 5V from the Molex?

Im thinking i dont but just wanted to make sure!

Thanks again,

Rob Stanley

Hi!

Im trying to make a stand for my MX222 with a single (multicore) wire trailing to the back of the PC. I was wondering if i could cut down on the number needed by attaching all the 0V wires together inside the pc

That is:

1 x USB, 2 x Molex, 3x GPO etc....

any ideas if this would work, i feel ...
