[QUOTE="Matthew Lewis, post: 145698, member: 10030"] Re: Fog Machine Midi DIY help Ok I have, for the most part, I figured out the layout of the wires but i seam to be having problems with connectivity. When I plug in the controller (originally 5 pin, now 3 pin)(the 3 pin controller to XLR then back into 5 pin) it seams to be working but not. I know this is contradictory but when I plug the controller rig in, the lights blink to show that it is getting power. However, the "heating done" or "ready" switch does not seam to be lighting up nor working. Could it be my wiring? I'm cheap and decided on doing it my self. This has turned out to be a challenge but cheaper. 3 wires- 1-Silver XLR to Yellow controller (5V) I believe this is your "hot" wire 2-Red XLR to Red controller (GND) This is common wire 3-Blue XLR to White controller (P3.1) Your control return wire (I'm not too familiar with electrician terms) [/QUOTE]
