    Does anyone have the complete pinout of the cn-18 plug on a CF-29 mk2 or mk4 (i'd imagine they'd be the same). I just came out with a crazy idea and if I can get the pinout and get it to work right I will share the plan with ya'll. I'm prolly gonna be waiting for ohlip on this one. :)

    I was looking at the schematics for the 29 and I think I found what I needed. Just a quick question would pin34, which is labeled as USBP+, be able to connect to a USB connector on the Data + pin? and if this is true I would assume that pin36 (USBP-) would go to the Data- pin on a USB plug. I may be completely retarded on my assumptions, someone please prove or disprove what I said here before I go wasting my time. Thanks

    I would check that with a multimeter I think that might be the +5v and -5v (the power for the usb), not the data
    I can't say for sure without the whole list
    Edit.. I looked at the list and I am even more confused as I don't see a 5v output listed for the usb power on any of the 40 connecters

    No! you are not ret...d.
    pin 34 --------------usb+
    pin 36---------------usb-
    pin 30,31,32 --------VA5 usb power
    pin 33,35,37---------Ground

    Remember that VA5 is always on even if the system is off stage. Therefore the system power must be synchronize on the bios

    well since those pins are always powered, could you use pin1, 2, 3 as the 5v power source or are those the same at pin 30 31 and 32?

    Thanks for the verification by the way :)

    EDIT: nvm those are va5 also. Just because i'm curious what are all the cfg, and rfid pins?
