Title: A2 wiring Post by: usao on June 29, 2016, 12:01:12 AM Bought A2, didnt work.
Did some exploring and found the PI has no power cord. Does anyone know where the cable is supose to connect to the source? I think I will have to make a cable, but dont know where it goes on the A2 side. Title: Re: A2 wiring Post by: mjgraham on June 29, 2016, 12:39:04 AM the pi gets power backfed from the controller board via the ribbon cable, trust me if gets hooked up backwards things don't make it.,Does it have an atx supply?
just a couple of checks, pull the pi out and see if it works normally, also when you turn on the power do the fans come on? Title: Re: A2 wiring Post by: usao on June 29, 2016, 12:51:54 AM Ok then, yes the fans run. i already pulled the pi and booted it with HDMI so I could find the IP.
For unknown reason its IP address wasnt even in my network. I setup a static IP and was re-installing the PI when I got confused by the lack of the micro-USB cable I normally see on a PI. Ill continue to setup and see if I can get it going now that it has the static IP assigned.

Title: Re: A2 wiring Post by: mjgraham on June 29, 2016, 05:11:52 AM on the board that doesn't work have any LEDs on it and if so what are they doing? I am guessing there blue boards?
