The bottom of my EZb V4 looks different slightly from the video I watched here for adding a 3.5mm jack. The ground hole is the same but there is only one hole with the gold colored surround in the area where I would think the power wire goes but Just want to make sure because it is slightly different from the video. Is this the spot where I would solder too?
I just got my V4 in January 2016.
Thanks for the help
So Left channel to Via and the ground to the common/shield tab correct?
yeah - if you get ground from the battery or before the EZ-B, will reduce any noise.
What do you mean? (I am not experienced with electronics) Are you saying not to use the ground port on the v4 like in the tutorial?
I used the EZB ground connection and wired the single audio channel output to both L & R connections.
Did you just a jumper to connect the L & R connections on the jack?
yeah the L and R of your audio connector can be connected together.
When i mentioned where to connect the GND - that can be the "black" or "gnd" at the battery, or the power pin of the EZ-B.
GND is also called "Common". This is because all devices can have different Positive Voltage, but they all must share a common ground. For example, in your house, ever breaker/fuse for every plugin is different - but the ground is the same. It's a common ground because everything needs that common ground. The earth is pretty much the biggest common ground you can find
Thank you for the help! This is all new to me and I don't want to screw up my EZ-B. Appreciate you explaining it in a simple manner.
