RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - snowjim - 2013-04-13

I got these settings from another forum and thay works really really well :

zOlid

TV is set to 60 Hz

If I dont use these I notice alot of flickering in the image.

Id do however not get how to find a setup like this? Try and error maybe?

What settings are you using?

Not sure if I wired it right, but my blue power LED is always on, even when the computer is turned off.

For the power LED I used pin 2(+) and pin 5(ground).

Good news i think
We have 5v betwen pin 2-9, 4-9, 2-5, 4-5 when computer is off just connect Semirec on pin 2 and 5 like freezer2k says just wire it on the cable to the power on led and ground pin 5 then you still have the power led working :-)

I got incredibly busy late in the week so I didn't get a chance to test this out. Sounds like we are in good shape tho. I'll run up to radio shack and get a LED or cheap volt meter and double check my system. If I'm good too, I'll order the Simerec this weekend.

My Simerec is shipped Apr 10, don't know how long it takes to Sweden, maybe next week i can get it :-)

Blimey, I'm away for 24 hours and the simerec suggestion looks almost cracked! Good work guys!

THIS IS AWESOME!

I have just finished reading all pages after this, powering on and off the NUC with the touch of a button. If that doesnt work, I can offer a solution, not so easy, but with the right skills we can make it work.

Ok, just tested mine (DC3217IYE) with an LED. It lights up exactly as you stated. so - looks like power is there...

I have messure 5V with a volt meter ;-)
Going to connect it to pin 2 and 5

If you do that, the NUC will be ON and not on a reset loop? If it do that just use pins 2 + 3.

Maybe better to use pin 2 and 9 then ?

I dont think that will work cause according to this intel link both are +5V and you need a 'ground' [or '-5v'] and a '+5V' pins.

Edit: Would be awesome if we know how much power [Watts] the pins can deliver and how much the simrec draws from the system. If it pulls more power than the pins can deliver, the simrec will not/will barely be functional. In this case we can use a 5volts regulator in order to have a funcional simrec without messing with the board pins. But that's a lot of expeculation...

I think pin 2 and 5 will work, pin 2+ pin 5-

RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - lukasnmd - 2013-04-13

Yes it can work, but you will use one of the reset pins, if you fall into a reset loop, you already have an option. That's why I suggested another setup for this. =D

Going to try pin 2 and 3 when i get my IR ;-)

Sorry if its been covered but will these nuc units play 3d blurry from disc or iso?
