Re: Mightyboard Rev E wrong power connector

Hi, I don't see the pic here, have you post it ? Try again. The picture upload utility was being flaky and limiting. I removed all the wires because it wasn't working. I tried the wires on my first Mightyboard the way that I was told to in this forum thread. And then I bought another board and I tr...

Re: Mightyboard Rev E wrong power connector

Which capacitor is smoking?

Mightyboard Rev E wrong power connector

Hi, I have the original power supply for the Makerbot. It has a four pin connector. My Mightyboard has only two slots. On the underside there is what looks like a transistor or a diode. If I replace the two pin female connector with a four pin female connector, will it break because of the diode? Or...
