I know waiting sucks

my project has been changing/evolving ofer more than 5 years now.

Mike, here it is:

Code:

Blue Numbers------Red Numbers ------Green numbers --------Notes
1-------------------------3
2-------------------------2
3-------------------------1
4 Audio + ----------------N/A --------------N/A
5 Input Video 1 +---------N/A --------------N/A
6--------------------------------------------3
7 Input Video 2 +---------N/A---------------N/A
8------------------------13
9------------------------14
10-------------------------------------------1 (signal ground)
11-------------------------------------------1 (signal ground)
12 Power 12V+------------N/A--------------N/A
13 Power 12V+------------N/A--------------N/A
14-------------------------------------------2
Shield-Grounds ------------------------Power connector, audio, video connectors ground

Please, notice you had 8 blue to red 14. My test shows it goes to 13! And 9 blue goes to red 14.
I didn't check all the rest though.

There is no green 4 because it's +5 V.

I have created html table, but couldn't post it here. Here it is http://www.astaltsev.com/CarPC/liliput_cable.htm

Good luck!

Well, I checked several times (even though it was 2AM). Why is that there "has to be a +5V"? Do you know what voltage touchscreen controller uses? And BTW it is now part of one big PCB, not a separate board (I think in previous Liliput it was on a separate board).
Yes, two green 1s, because it's ground. Nobody complains about two +12Vs

Notice - THERE IS NO shield connection between USB, VGA and monitor 14 din connectos. I don't know why, but there isn't.
I first noticed this when I was powering my Lilliput from separate power supply - not from PC's 12V. If you don't connect USB cable to PC - image is flickering. Bad ground.
Do you have such cable? Please, check it. I also want to make my own cable, because this one doesn't look solid. So I am interested in truth of the pinout also

I don't have Liliput here with me now, but I just remembered taht 10,11 and shield on 14 pin din are all together.
So it's not "duplicate ground for usb" - just one more ground TO Liliput that is common with USB ground.

Touchscreen works from 12V, because when monitor is connected to 12V and USB, but turned off by power button (sits in standby mode) - when you turn monitor back on - Windows finds a new USB device.

That's exactly what I wrote in my second post

I will probably make my own cable, but need to find 14pin connector first.
Anybody knows where to get it?

Anyway, I hope we

helped FireAnt . But he's quiet.

Astal,

Thanks, I'm going to give it a try tonight! I can't wait to use this thing again.

whoever made the images of the plugs with the numbers on could they possibly send me a high rez version without the numbers (not the usb or vga i know what they look like

)

Thanks

Astal,

It works!! after a couple of hours of soldering and heatshrinking it's fixed. Your pin outs worked great. I did notice we had the audio + and Video2+ confused. I fixed the first chart in this post to read correctly.

Thanks to everyone for thier help.
Mike
