Thanks Andy Thought they looked the same and that confirms it :thumbup: I just hope the s-video lead has four core cable and not a pair of tiny coax cables. |
| j45on:
I got my 99p s-video cable today and it is a perfect fit and has four separate wires but it is very thick and inflexible so I think I will have to buy some plugs and make my own. :zap: I am also struggling to find out what capacitor/s to solder into the scale in place of the battery does anybody know ? |
| tumutbound:
The value of the capacitor(s) is not critical. According to the Shumatech site, anything up to 330uF electrolytic with a .01uF ceramic in parallel. I used a 100uF as it was the largest I could get in an SMD package. |

Cheers Tumutbound :beer: Kenneth :thumbup: if I wanted to build a cable from scratch what would you recommend ? I added some green filter today I was not happy with the colour it was a bit yellow under my shop lights I'm happy now but I had to buy a roll just to get the bit I needed :palm: So I have some spare if anybody needs a bit for their dro :thumbup: Before After |

The author said: "I found my 4 pin DIN plugs and sockets on the back of the DRO a nightmare to solder up. [They] just have solid pins to solder to. A type with solder buckets would have been easier with less possibility of solder bridges." Good luck! Andy |
