I am just wondering if the scripts are available yet.

I'll move it over to "I need help" if you don't mind and move it back when it has been answered. It should get more attention that way.
(btw, nice to see some hardware action, good work :) )

The last that I recall being said was that S-Video but not composite out were working? (I see your cable has all phono heads)

There is a capacitor buried in there. I use svideo out and then convert it.

I've used this method myself, works fine (not with pandora though, other s-video source)

did you follow the schematics in that other thread?
tell us more about your "engineering" process
Its all on the net ;)

Well, getting the connector would be the hardest part.
I wonder that everybody is waitingfor the cables instead of doing it themselves.

The only thing I would like to add is that this is not really something you want to try if you have not soldered before. If that is the case then either wait for your cable, or for the tiny pcb that MWeston has for this purpose.

Would you mind to tell us where you bought it, how much did it cost, etc? I don't even know what kind of connector is it.

First off, I am not responsible for any fried Pandoras.


Here is the connector (MWeston can confirm it is the correct part):

I have no problem answering questions, but it is annoying when questions are asked which are already answered on the forum.
You can also ask MWeston for the Gerber files for a little board which will make this easier...

Hope this helps.

Wow, only 85 cents... I might have to dust off my soldering Iron. :)
8 week lead time, and $35 minimum order. This is why I've been waiting for an "official" source: someone to buy 50 or 100 of them and then mail them out to individuals.

How many do you guys think we'll actually need?

I'm ready&willing for the task, as long as people are serious and it's not just an up in the air thing. Though someone has got to make a few homemade breakout boards too (I'd be willing to send you a few beers if up to said challenge). That's just me though, I'm curious to tinker around on one (and would put it to good use) :p
