Title: Is the A2 terminator compatible with newer raspberry pi B+? Post by: cloudnthings on August 26, 2016, 05:32:12 AM Does anyone know if the A2 terminator can be used with the newer Model B+ raspberry pi? My model A PI has stopped working but I have a PI B+ sitting around. However the older PI's have 26 GPIO pins and the newer ones have a lot more....
Title: Re: Is the A2 terminator compatible with newer raspberry pi B+? Post by: MarkAz on August 26, 2016, 08:29:55 AM No, the pins are slightly different order on the B than on the A - so if you want to make an adapter to map the wires to match, then it should work.

So it's not impossible but probably take me a while to figure out the mapping. I might not have a choice considering second hand model A's don't seem to be around much which is a pain. I wonder if anyone else has tried this remapping cable.... Title: Re: Is the A2 terminator compatible with newer raspberry pi B+? Post by: MarkAz on August 26, 2016, 09:43:37 AM Thanks.

I wonder if anyone else has tried this remapping cable.... No problem... I had a bunch of A2's, so I was always looking for model A's as backups. No idea if this will work, but here's a 26-pin to 40-pin adapter cable: https://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/Breakout-Kit-for-Raspberry-Pi-B-w-40pin-to-26pin-Cable-p-2080.html Or this might make making an adapter MUCH easier: https://www.modmypi.com/raspberry-pi/gpio-and-breadboarding/40-pin-ribbon-cables/raspberry-pi-40-pin-gpio-socket-connector-to-labelled-pins-female-150mm Hope that helps! Title: Re: Is the A2 terminator compatible with newer raspberry pi B+? Post by: cloudnthings on August 26, 2016, 10:26:24 AM Seems like the first 26 pins are the same.
http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/28589/is-the-26-pin-pi-cobbler-compatible-with-the-40-pin-raspberry-pi I'll do some experimenting.... There's even a downgrade ribbon. https://www.adafruit.com/products/1986 Title: Re: Is the A2 terminator compatible with newer raspberry pi B+?

I send you Pi you send me PI+ Shipping from EU (estonia) Title: Re: Is the A2 terminator compatible with newer raspberry pi B+?

I send you Pi you send me PI+ Shipping from EU (estonia) Thanks for your offer. I found out that the pins order is the same for the first 26 pins so I can force the ribbon cable in so it will work.

(If you are in the US) -Dave yes you are right. I have the non + version of the B. ie the one with 512 RAM. I'm testing the B+ at the moment as the first 26 pins of the 40 pin version are the same. (So i'm told). I'll PM you as well. Thanks. |
