Hi team, I was wondering if I can get some clarification. Maybe I’m missing something. I am working on modding my pironman 5 max fans with Noctua fans similar to GOTO_GOSUB, but I came across something strange.
The wires on the original Icecube RGB fans, yellow (positive +) and blue (negative -) wires control the fan. The red (positive +) and black (negative -) wires control the RGB. Demonstrated with this image - RGB not connected.
Based on the image from SunFounder_Moderator, it shows that the LED Negative (pin 1 image below) should be connected to the black wire and pin 2 should be connected to the red wire.
However, I am noticing in the “Unboxing & Assembling the Pironman 5 MAX Case for Raspberry Pi 5” YouTube video, that the blue and yellow wires (aka the fan) are connected to the RGB pins. And the RGB pins are connected to the fan pins.
While modding my Pironman 5 case to work with the Noctua fans, I pulled all of the wires out of the original JST male connector so I could reuse it. I am debugging the Noctua wires to figure out which is positive, negative and how the PWM wire works - and needed to reference the original wire colors for the Icecube fan. Since I already pulled all of the Icecube wires out of the male JST, I had to go to the YouTube video to find the original ordering. I put them back in the male JST in the order shown on the Pironman 5 Max assembly video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iucf51zInWQ, but I noticed the FAN | 6 and FLED | 5 jumpers are swapped.
Does anyone have an image of their pironman 5 max IO Expander with the original fans still connected so I can reference what order their colors are in? I’m curious if this is a bug with the SunFounder Pironman 5 Max hardware itself or if I am missing something.
From what I can tell, the colors should be this:
pin 1: black (rgb -)
pin 2: red (rgb +)
pin 3: blue (fan -)
pin 4: yellow (fan +)
But the video I used to reference the orignal colors have them as
pin 1: blue (fan -)
pin 2: yellow (fan +)
pin 3: black (rgb -)
pin 4: red (rgb +)
