I just recived the zynthian kit today. I was triyng to follow the instructions on the wiki, but i cannot find the unbalanced audio output jack-TS.
Instead I have four balanced audio input jack-TRS.
Thank you so much. I will wait for the new connectors.
Do you need the return of the old connectors? how can I return them?
And how can I get the tracking number for the shipment?
Economically and ecologically speaking, I would say that shipping 2 connectors is not the best idea… The best would be to add some local goodies to the parcel… like some local handmade beer or wine…
“… add some local goodies to the parcel… like some local handmade beer or wine…”
beer cans maybe - I added a bottle of wine well padded to a parcel with a bass pickup (I ordered the wrong type) and the bottle broke and the parcel was flooded with white wine … the result therefore did not match the intention .
As I said, I have no experience in electronics, but I have made wires before, I feel that I can make this connectors knowing the exact materials and having a detailed instruction on what to make.
I found this. I need to know the names of the rest of materials and the instructions.
I’m waiting for the connectors, but I’m impatient for the zynthian. Also, to be ecofriendly is another good reason for DIY the connector.
As i told you, the connectors was shipped 2 weeks ago, so you should receive it very soon. Let me check the tracking …
The connectors you found are 3.5mm ones, and you need 6.25mm connectors …
But … you could use the 2 TRS connectors you already have. It’s not difficult at all. Simply join the grounds of both connectors (S = Sleeve => Shield => Ground), and the 2 signal pins on every connector (T & R => Tip & Ring). After that, connect to the Hifiberry like that:
