"The external input terminal" for Nav Sys
#252
Okay, I got my board today. Now I need some big help putting it together. I thought it would be more straight forward, but it looks more complex than I originally thought. I circled the parts that need to be soldered. There's a little Letter/Number combo in each one. Let me know if you can help me decipher them.
J1 - Power Supply - which one is pos and which one is neg ?
J2/7 - Audio In/Out - Do I need this ? What does this do ?
J3 - Video In - This goes to a composite video. Is the outside the ground ?
J4 - Sync Out - do I send the "NORM" to the S wire in "RGBS" ? Do I need to ground GND ?
J5 - RGB OUT (HIGH) - Not used right ? I use (75) and not (high) correct ?
J6 - RBG OUT (75) - R-R, G-G, B-B, GND to ground, right ? This will go to my switch, which will eventually go to my LCD, Correct ?
JP1 - CENTER ? - Any ideas ? Do I want "+" or "G" or neither ?
JP2 - Looks like (75) is short. I want to short this right ?
R21 - Any ideas ? I have no clue what this does.

Not for going from a composite video (eg. DVD player) to an RGB video signal.
Antichristpm was going from a VGA (or SVGA -- either way, from a computer) to an RGB signal. Different application.

Took me a while to get around to it again, but I got my board to work yesterday. I spent about $35 stuff (switches, wiring, connectors) in addition to the $100 for the Composite to RGBS board. I put connectors on it so I can take it out easily.
And I did have to short JP2, the one I wasn't sure about.
I grounded on the Nav system. Same place as where the Nav ground plugs in.
I had one issue - I took power off the Acc line. And I blew a few fuses. The Mazda3 has a 7.5Amp fuse as stock. I blew that. Then I blew a 15Amp fuse. Then a 20. Now I have a 30 in there. Is that bad ? Does it seem like I'm doing something wrong ? I thought the board only draws 1-2 amps, but I'm thinking it may draw more initially.

something is wrong...the avelectronics box only take 3 watts I believe
I can run the av box, dvd player, and more and the fuse doesn't blow
the board you have may be dysfunctional

let me point out that rshan just bought some random board, this has nothing to do with the composite or svideo edition of the avelectronics switcher that thew at rx8garage.net sells

I'm using the same board that rshan is using. No, it should not draw that much current.
Rshan, check out your wiring and each component individually -- you have a big problem there! No, it's not just initial surge current.
