Does it works with AV Cable?

[manel00]

Hi Steven,

First of all, Thanks for your work. I'd like to know if its possible to use with this patches the AV CABLE on Orange pi zero h2? Because i don't have any cable to use on GPIO.. :(

Regards!

The only AV out on the Orange Pi Zero is on the "13 pin function interface" so you have two choices:

1. Make a cable:

The easiest way is to get jumper wires like these: http://tiny.cc/y0zdry

Cut the male end off two wires, strip them, and solder them to a RCA connector that looks like this: http://tiny.cc/22zdry

OR screw them to a connector that looks like this: http://tiny.cc/23zdry

You will also need a 50 ohm resistor between the pin and the shield, it can be soldered inside the shell of the connector easy enough, or in the case of the screw version just screw in the legs between + and -. This is essential. Without the resistor the picture will not be good, because the signal isn't properly conditioned on the orange pi zero board.

If you can, go the soldering way, its much nicer.

Then, connect to the GND pin on that connector (2nd in from the Ethernet connector end) and the TV-OUT pin (5th in, from the micro USB end). Refer a orange pi pinout for details: (https://oshlab.com/orange-pi-zero-pinout/)[url]

2. Use the Orange Pi Zero Expansion Board.
It looks like this: http://tiny.cc/la0dry

and then you can use a cable like this, directly to your TV: http://tiny.cc/96zdry

In this case, you do not need the resistor because the board should already have the necessary circuits on it to have a nice A/V connection.
