Step 3
The wires on the Gamecube cord need to be soldered to specific spots in order to work well. Take a moment to identify where you will be soldering the cable to shortly.
Below is a picture of an unassembled Cthulhu board showing the grid of holes where the console cables get installed. It doesn't matter which row we use with the Gamecube cable, so use whichever one is easiest.
Now that we know which row of holes to use, we just need to figure out which wires go where. Grab the sheet of paper you wrote the pinout on. Each wire has a purpose, and a specific place it must go. Remember, the colors below are ONLY an example. Use the pin # or Purpose you wrote down earlier to determine which column to use.
Color Purpose Pin # Cthulhu Column
Blue - VCC - 1 - V
Red - DATA - 2 - F
Yellow - GND - 3 - G
There you have it. You should have three wires tinned and ready to solder, and you now know which wire does what, and which row (1) and column each one goes into. Let's get to it.
