Original revision pinouts? #36

Closed TrollDecker closed 3 years ago

TrollDecker commented 4 years ago

Heyo,

As far as I can tell, I have the launch revision of the Pirate-Audio from just before Christmas last year and I'm currently trying to connect up the thing to my Pi Zero W with jump wires to free up some pins and make way for some additional inputs.

Unfortunately I can only find pinouts for the newer revision and they don't seem to work for me at all. I get nothing on the screen, despite checking about fifty times. When I plug it directly onto the GPIO pins, it works just fine.

I know there's another issue about pinouts here, but since it seems to concern newer revisions, I didn't want to derail it and cause any confusion.

Anyone? I've tried following pinout.xyz and checked my wiring more times than I can count on my fingers and toes combined (Yes, I remembered the two ground pins), tried new jump wires too, and as far as I can tell, the only pin that's changed between board revisions is one of the buttons, but still, I can't get anything to show up on screen.

This is honestly stressing me out. ☹️

NVM. It's broken. Finding that the connector itself was wobbly and desperately trying to desolder the thing in the hopes of connecting the wires directly resulted in a melted screen, so I might as well buy a new one with the properly documented revision. 😖
