CaptMatteus Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 The cable I received in the box does not match all of the online documentation for the install. See the attached photo. If I have the green wire in the same position that it is in in the documentation on Lotharek's Lair, then I believe the mapping now becomes: Yellow Red Black Blue White Green (OLD) | | | | | | Black Red White Yellow Orange Green (NEW) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGRAHAM2 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Mine was different as well. I did the same as you and remapped it. I believe he had a note not to depend on the colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Don’t ever trust wire colors. Go by pin assignments and which pin corresponds to which signal. In my case, the way I routed the wires resulted in Lotharek’s provided cable being too short. The connector also doesn’t really fit the header very elegantly. As a result I just made my own Dupont connector. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGB1718 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Had the same issue when I did mine too, luckily for me @DrVenkman had a video showing his and it had the same wire colours as mine, so I just copied his wiring, from this older thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I was following my own video instructions the other day and I regret colour coding the pin number captions at all (I did this before it became apparent that the colours had changed). Even going by the pins, one's brain is easily fooled into going by the colours instead. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anyone else mentioning it so I thought I would point it out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I was a bit pissed off when days after making the video the cable turned up with a different colour scheme on the wires, but I completely agree with the response I received (that one should go with pin numbers anyway). My bad for colour coding the captions, but there is a note under the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptMatteus Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 If it's any consolation, after I put the pin assignments and jumper connections I would need to make on paper and double checked everything I needed to do, I did all of the soldering work and replaced the resistors in about an hour. Worked on the first boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked on the first boot. Good stuff. It was nearly eighteen months since I'd last installed Incognito, but everything ultimately went like clockwork here too. Even the famously fiddly ATR button wasn't too bad. Went together right first time, although I later had to adjust the position of the momentary switch slightly since the bottom of the light conductor wasn't sitting dead centre once the case was fully reassembled.
