PodBreakout Warning

UPDATE: 4/21/10 Kineteka have now updated their pinout page.

I’ve had email discussions with a few people who’ve been having trouble replicating my work. They all had v1.4 PodBreakout boards, whereas the two I have are v1.2. So I asked Mike at Kineteka if there was a difference and he said there was:

There is a slight difference in the v1.4 due to a manufacturing glitch.
The boards still work the pinout is just flipped.
The pins are odd /even as opposed to even / odd. see below.

Back side of dock connector v1.2
 02 04 06 08 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30
 01 03 05 07 09 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29

Back side of dock connector v1.4
 01 03 05 07 09 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29
 02 04 06 08 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30


So for instance the audio pins 3,4,5,6

PodBreakout Pin         V1.2    V1.4
 Right Line Out         3       4
 Left Line Out          4       3
 Right Line In          5       6
 Left Line In           6       5


We are working on updating the http://www.kineteka.com/PodBreakout-v1.aspx  page to reflect these changes should be up soon.


So if you have a v1.4 board you’ll need to adjust your connections appropriately.
