Eggstra Lilly +5V USB Mod (continued)


WARNING!!
The information that follows is FOR EXPERTS ONLY! Any attempt to make the following mod is at YOUR OWN RISK. Any damage to the CNX-P1260 is not covered by our warranty. This mod is presented for the convenience of CarNetix customers only and should only be attempted by advanced users!


The following section explains how the utilize the DLYON signal on the P1260 to turn on or off your +5V Lilli mod. It requires cutting 2 traces on the LilliPCB and soldering a wire to the P1260 PCB. This should only be attempted if you have good soldering skills.

Remove your previously modified LilliPCB and flip it over to the bottom. You are now going to cut the two traces that connect Pin5 of the LM2596 to ground. Cut where the black lines cross the traces. Be careul not to slip with your knife and cause red blood drops to appear on your PCB.


Cut another piece of wire (green) about 8 inches. Strip and tin one end and solder to Pin 5 of the LM2596. Be careful not to short this pin to ground or your DLYON function will not work!


Now tie-wrap this new wire into the cable bundle with the wires from your previous mod. Keep your work neat so your friends will be impressed...;)

Now, locate R22 on the P1260 PCB and solder the other end of the green wire to the TOP solder pad of R22 (the end closest to the fan header). These are very small (0805) surface mount devices. Be careful not to damage them or their solder joints! Also, be very careful of shorting your connection to the adjacent resistor. FYI, the tab of Q5 is connected to R22, so touching it is OK.


Re-attach the P1260 PCB to the chassis and heatsink. You are now ready to roll! The +5V output will now follow the DLYON signal. This means that your USB devices will not receive power until 3 seconds after your P1260 comes on. The +5V output will also turn off when you turn off your ignition, unless you have selected the jumper option to keep DLYON on during shutdown delay.

Have fun!
