This is bungle's wiring guide only difference is that i mark down each pin that goes directly to the rcp & the PIF_NUS.
Pin 45 is needed for the everdrive in order for it to work

Proof Of Concept. took about at least 2hrs to find the pinouts and wiring it to the pins
Hope this helps out

how long are the wires?

 

[E64]

Its about 3 1/2 inches

I seem to remember something was very wrong with bungle's guide but I don't remember what.

Anyways if you want the cart slot to be reliable and stable, it's better to relocate everything. Signals like return paths, so that means even the multiple GND and voltage lines.

I rewire it with 5' wires and it still works i had to get rid of the old wires in order to more advantage to move the cart slot

There wasn't anything wrong with bungle's guide
As for the cart slot goes it's stable i had to change my wire length that way i can move in the position i want it in

one more question,the wires you are using are 26 AWG or 28AWG?, i ask you because i tried to do this before but for some reason i never made it to work,maybe i used the wrong wires

 

[GC64]

28 does just fine. And it's honestly just worth it to wire all of it, despite the time it takes. The literal one downside to doing all is the space factor, but that's about it.

It would be useful if you labeled the 3.3v and ground pins on the diagram. Also I'm curious how you successfully wired the cart slot to the RCP pins using thicker wire. close up pic please?

I rewire it with 5' wires

You mean 5" right? Remember the importance of correct units.

Yea 5"

My 1st attempt was with regular wires from the controllers it was a real challenge to get them on the pins
But i eventually change them with thinner wires that are from ide cable like this

I'll update it in a bit

First i put some solder on the wire then snip it at a angle like this so the that it will be thin enough room from each pin and the other wires
and with some flux to help prevent the pins to stick to each other

I am astounded that actually works

You can relocate cart slots with 30 gauge, probably 34 as well.

There's nothing "wrong" with Bungles guide but IIRC Marshall has stated it's best to use all of the 3V3 and GND lines (meaning wire all 50 or whatever it is)

Disgusting, but grats on functionality.
