Gaming adapter power problem
Our team is having some trouble connecting our gaming adapter to the power distribution board. Where should we hook it up?

It plugs into the 12v DC socket next to the cRIO power socket.

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
We tried that, but it didn't work. Is there any way to tell which wire is + or -?

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
It sounds like you could use the power distribution schematic.

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
The wire with the white stripe is positive.

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
The white stripe indicates POSITIVE.
Wire it in reverse and the wireless adaptor will burn out. Of course, if you've already wired it backwards, then you probably need to buy a WET610N as a replacement. Last edited by Mark McLeod : 01-02-2010 at 21:45. Reason: Hastypickle isn't so hasty |

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
That is incorrect. The wire with the white stripe is the positive wire.

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
Whoops. I didn't have anything to check if I was correct so I added the "I believe" at the beginning. I should probably remember that for future information though. Thanks for correcting me.

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
Get the documentation from the http://www.usfirst.org/frccontrolsystem page. The information you want is on page 8 of the Chapter 3 document.
Note: it is the positive wire which bears the stripe. |

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
We have successfully powered the wireless game controller. The wire with the white stripe is, indeed, the positive connection.

Re: Gaming adapter power problem
Thanks! As it turned out, we did in fact fry it, but we got a new one and it's working great. Thanks!
