ß Using the reference diagram above…

  • If you have Green, Orange, White and Yellow cables: Orange = Pin 4, Green = Pin 6, Yellow and White = Pins 16 and 18 (order does not matter)

  • If you have Green, Orange and 2 Yellow cables: Orange = Pin 4, Green = Pin 6, Yellows = Pins 16 and 18 (order does not matter)

  • If you have Black, Red and 2 Green cables: Red = Pin 4, Black = Pin 6, Greens = Pins 16 and 18 (order does not matter)

  • If you have Brown, Green, White and Yellow cables: Brown = Pin 4, Green = Pin 6, Yellow/White = Pin 16/18

  • If you only have 3 cables (neopixel version): Orange = Pin 4, Green = Pin 6, Yellow = Pin 12

  • If using the Open Source version: Black = Pin 6 White = Pin 16 or 18

Step 3

Insert the camera cable (note the orientation of the silver connectors) and re-clip the clip/hinge back in position to lock the cable in position. When properly installed, the silver connectors should be barely visible, or not at all.
