SB5101E Pinouts HELP !!! - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

biddy79uk · 14-09-10, 12:59 AM

I have a SB5101e and a Blackcat/JTAG with the lead/wires but i have no idea which pins to connect the wires to from the modem to the blackcat
Can anyone help a little please,
The block with the wires in can only go on the board 1 way as it has 1 of the wire blocks blocked off (if you know what i mean)
The wire thats on its own the next block to the right is blocked off so it can only attach to the board that 1 way.

The motorola 5101e has stock firmware on it now i'v just ripped my max lead up to solder the wires on to the pins correctly (using max232) but no joy.

I do have a blackcat/jtag here but i havnt got a clue which way the wires connect onto blackcat coming from the modem,

Heres a picture of the modem 5101e blackcat and a picture of the lead it came with....

that's the worst i've seen !

Should have had a 10 pin header soldered in much easier and neater, any way here's the connections...

you could of just brought one off fleabay for around £6. and it would of come with a few 10 pin headers to get you started.

it does look crappy but fair play for trying to build one, and nice blob soldering on the pins on the board lol.

Well the 5101 was given to me lol

The connector block only connects to the SB5101e 1 way as the pin whole/wire hole next to the grey wire by itself is blocked out,
What i need to know is which wires go from the SB5101e to my blackcat

AND IS IT NESACARRY TO HAVE A 5 PIN HEADER & A TEN PIN HEADER SOLDERED TO THE BLACKCAT OR NOT

cheers biddy

Im not the best at this but what 5 pin header ???
I have only saw a 10 pin header used on a blackcat jtag, You should get a jtag off fleeday as what you are trying 2 use looks a bit out of date and has saw better days and plus you will get five 10 pin headers free..
