Well I joined the cables together 3 positive to 3 positive and 3 ground to 3 ground and my psu wont switch on with it connected. Not sure if its me or the circuit board.

Its got 3xEPS 8 pin, 1x24pin, 2x6Pin, 1x5v 4pin, 16 pairs of screw down terminals, a switch and led, and 5x 270 16v RS419 capacitors on it.

Ive connected the 6pin connector from the peripheral/sata 6pin socket on the psu, to the 6 pin socket on the board, and then run two barrel connectors from the screw down terminals to my two U3's.

Im lost as to why its not working Huh

That is exactly what I was trying to explain Cheesy

Just couldn't find the right words.

Its not for anything major just a couple of U3's with some bits that Klintay included when I bought an Antrouter. But unfortunately I cant seem to get it to recognise more than one U3. Ive even tried a USB 2.0 and a USB 3.0 hub Sad

I don't know if the U3 is anything like the U2 driver wise but if it is try pulling all the U3s, remove them out of device manager and uninstall the divers. Then reboot, plug them in and reinstall the drivers. I've had to do that many times with just 2 U2 on one machine.

Whagt do they show up as in device manager? Would the fact Ive got the Zadig Uart driver still installed from when I ran one on cgminer be a problem?

I used a cheap usb 2.0 hub with mine. It should work fine. I also used a R1 antrouter to control them with crazyguy's custom firmware, and it worked great.

There was someone who sold premade cables that would work going from a PSU. I just used the power bricks that came with the U3's. They were nothing special but did work for me.

Ok so I've got two 6pin extension cables (male one end and female the other) but I need a cable that's got two female ends so I can go from my PSU to a power distribution circuit board that has a 6 pin socket on.

Would I be ok to cut the male ends off and join the cables? If so, can I group all the positives together in an electrical crimp connection and all the grounds in another crimp connection?

So all three positives from one end would come together in the crimp then go back out into there individual wires to the other end of the cable (6pin plug-3 wires--crimp--3 wires,6pin plug)?

OR do I have to crimp connect each individual wire?

psu << female---------------3 red wires positive + 3 red wires positive ------ female>> miner
jack << plug ---------------3 black wires neg - 3 black wires neg -------- plug >> jack

three wires at the plus + sign for 1 crimp red
three wires at the neg - sign for 1 crimp black

yes it works. 2 conditions

1) no crossed wires
2) the gauge /awg is heavy enough for the load.

16 awg may be good if under 3 ft and under 225 watts

Are you trying to make some kind of splitter cable or what? Really hard to understand what you are trying to do. Maybe an example of what you are going from and to.

Hi guys,

Basically I've got two 6pin extension cables and need one with two of the same type of ends so I thought I could butcher them and join them together.

My question is, can I put all three 12v onto one connector between the two? So it would be 3 into connector then back into 3.

Can I do the same with the ground aswell or would it be better to join them individually?

Thanks.
