[Solved] Where do I put the wires that used to go on the gnd and vcc pads?

Post by Demoman982 » Fri Sep 08, 2017 3:49 pm

I installed the battery monitor board, and I have no idea where to put the wires that were supposed to go on the vcc and gnd pads. Yes, I watched the guide. Yes, I watched the battery monitor board installation guide. But wermy never even said where to put the wires that were supposed to go on the pads.

Edit: I changed the wording of the original post because I feel that I wasn't specific. If you look at the replies, dryja123 was of absolutely no help. Thats why I changed it.

Edit: Why do I make a fool out of myself whenever I ask for help?

What wires are you trying to connect to where?

If you haven't already, watch Wermy's guide: https://youtu.be/ux9lXBexw0o

The guide isnt updated to use the battery monitor board. All the wires were meant to go to the vcc and ground pads, but they are taken up. Where do I connect the wires instead?

Wermy posted a battery power install guide as well: https://youtu.be/Pd8Jjnwh_p4

Wermy is good like that, you should subscribe to his YouTube channel :shock:

I watched that. I followed it. He never specified where the wires go. I just want a guide showing me where to put the wires.

Edit: I am subscribed to his youtube channel. I dont know how to put this together without his help.

You obviously did not watch the battery monitor video. Start watching at 1:29. He shows you where to connect the wires to and from the GPIO port and at 1:57 He shows you how to connect power (vcc) and ground.

Also, I would recommend doing some digging on the forums. There is a thread dedicated to how to wire everything up and several support thread with pictures.

Edit: I don't know why you updated your original post saying I was of no help. You didn't provide enough information for anyone to provide you any help. You later specified that you needed help installing the battery monitor board, I shared the install video with you.
