Caleb Linburg Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Is there a way to use inputs without the input connector (http://store.lightorama.com/ctinco3in.html)? I have a project and I would like to try it today but I don't have the input connector. I will be ordering one but if I can get this done today that would be great.

tjflory Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 The pins locations and description are in your literature that came with the board. (online too I'm sure) you can try alligator clips or solder if you have a steady hand and good eyes. If you just want to use a trigger, a paper clip or small piece of wire will work. BE CAREFUL if you're doing this hot (under power) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 you need a resistor in the path as well I will post it here in a second you can not just make contact with out the correct resistor wired in series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 http://www.lightorama.com/downloads/InputConnectionsForCTB16.pdffor the ctb 16 pc controllers v 1 to 3 you only need the 10k Ω resistor now for the 4th gen controllers I am not sure so I am not going to say which way to go with them but they do not have the input header out for them yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I had my head in my a** gen 1 and 2 is for that resistor rule the gen 3 I am not sure about I have no idea where I got the gen 4 from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitusCarnathan Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Ok I looked at the manual and it looks like gen 3 does not need any resistors that is why they do not use the same input card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Linburg Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Wow! Shipping on the connector is $15 I will probpaly do this and wait to order that with another order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 LOR will adjust your shipping down, if the actual cost is less than that. Due to the way the Yahoo store calculates shipping, it sometimes has it quite high.You could contact support (lightorama.com/support) and tell them what you want to order, and where it's going to, and they could more accurately determine shipping.
