Hi,

anybody know where I can get the 16 pin female connector needed for the inputs on the web control board.

Thanks,

Mike
 
Alltex electronics has them (and the ribbon cable too). They are a local store for me, but they have a website too. It's like a 50c part but then you have to pay to have it shipped. If you bought a thousand of them they would probably be about 5c each. . . which makes me wonder why cai doesn't just include them.

Here it is:

It isn't the same brand as cai lists, but it is the correct plug, I have several of them.

Or this: 4 connectors plus ribbon cable

Thanks for the tip! Picked several up at Altex here in San Antonio.

Does anyone have a pinout already made for the ribbon cable? Maybe I'm being too careful but I just didnt want to go testing my theory that the cable goes 1, 16, 2, 15, etc... without knowing if that is correct.
 
You can see which wire goes where by the punch-down configuration. It will depend on how you make the wire. . . which direction you have the ribbon exit.
 
I think the pin is 1,16, 2, 15..., or 16,1,15,2,,,,because the crimped headers are arranged like that. That is probably why analog inputs arranged to be 14,15,16 facing analog ground 1,2,3; TTL inputs are all on the other end of the header.
 
If you face the board with TTL ouput connector up, Ethernet port down, 16pin header pin 1 is always the left most wire on the ribbon cable. The cable will have AN1 input, AN1 ground, AN2, input, AN2 ground, etc. This does not change no matter which way you crimped the cable to the header.
