Title: Quick help from anyone with a u360 wiring harness
Post by: stephenp1983 on December 19, 2008, 07:12:25 pm
This may sound like a stupid question, but being colorblind I'm having a little bit of trouble matching the colors on the wiring harness for my u360 up.  I know they could be remapped in mame, but I'd still like to get them in the order I want them.  If anyone has one, and can help me fill in the diagram I've put together that would be great:

Obviously I know where the black (com) wire is so I've used it as a reference point.  The number don't correlate with the button numbers according to the ultimarc site, they are just for my reference.  The ones below I'm pretty sure on, so could someone fill in the rest for me, please: brown, orange, green, grey, red.  thanks in advance for anyone that can help with this :)

3. blue

These look just like the harness you plug into your mobo for front USB and audio jack connections, except the ones I have the upper-right (when facing the plug) hole is blocked, and not all the holes are wired. I was going to make my own, but couldn't locally find this kind of harness. Eight bucks seems like a lot, but then, the hassle of finding and making your own is probably more costly. I'm still on the fence.

I bought some of Ultimarc's connectors, but then I ended up using these types instead:

These connectors were easy connect to a single, larger ribbon cable which carries all of my CP's I/O.
