Where is the pinout hole for GND ( Composite out) on the PI-5
January 30, 2024, 17:44
I've been at this for days!
Can anyone please help by telling me where is the gnd for the composite (vid) pinout hole for the raspberry pi 5?
I can not find any documents or information anywhere.
Any help from the community will be very appreciated.
Thank you.

any black one on here is a ground and unless your using a external power supply (which you should never put into your gpio) then you should be able to put it into any one of these
So it doesn't matter which pin is gnd and out for the composite pinout? Its fir the pi5 and am trying to wire up a rca to it. So could you tell me what the 2 vid pinout holes are for? Its named "vid" in the oi board. One is circle and the other is square
could you share?
yes ofc, wait here...
its the holes titled vid
those are gpio(?)
I thunk thats what there called yes. You soldier hedder pins to it and wire up a rca
I may have got the name wrong tbh
no thats the display and camera connector
you should never solder anything to them
Not those big things, the 2 tiny holes next to them in the right
the square and circle
it says vid... But the red circle is blocking
ah the real time clock?
where ut says j7?
to the left
2 golden holes, square and circle
yes
yep. Which one of those is gnd?
it would help if you circled the correct thing lol
not sure let me see
Thank you so much.
sorry, this was the first image of them I found close up. Just need to know witch one is gnd
does your thing have a specific - and + ?
yes. The rca adapter does
but nothing on the rpi board
ok
yeah ik
just a square and a circle
thanks for helping ne with this BTW, it means a lot
their is no real docs on it
I know
i have to go for a second, ill be back in maybe 20 mins
ok
if anyone here knows of anything, please give is some insights
im thinking that you could just try both sides and see which one works but not sure if that will break it
i dont think it will but i dont think you want to take that chance either
not really, id rather know for sure if im honest
just looking everywhere mentioning this too see if there is any comments mentioning gnd on the composite pinout holes
i think I sussed it. According to the zero, the circle pin is gnd
however, know i need to know what is gnd for + or -?
\- is ground
btw i said something wrong, that is not the RTC so forget that
<@1071178789939331253> forget what? The "- is ground" or "circle is ground".
because according to this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzQ4IL72Pn8 ... The rpi zero "gnd" composite is the circle (right)
no just what I called the circle and squares I thought it was something else that I now know I am mistaken. what I was talking about was the real time clock
no clue tbh
ask @oops.se but not rn because hes busy
Normally the Square hole indicate the first hole. And as you can see on the enlarged image, the square is signal and the round is GND
Yes, The TV/monitors GND MUST be the same as the Raspberry Pi GND.
and GND is the - (or the circle hole)
the possitive/signal end is the + (or the square hole)
In a composite video interface you have GND and signal, not +/-.
yes but signal will have the + right?
Not always
Thats why I pointedd out "signal"
so on this rca adapter, do I match gnd with - or +?
<@796000224690307072>
GND to -
Signal to +
thanks man
