    Hello,

    ·· That really depends on the polarity of what you're connecting it to.· If it's a BOE or other Parallax Board, the plug has the wrong inside diameter.· Should be 2.1mm instead of 2.5mm.

    ·· Again, this depends on the polarity of the other connector your hooking into...Without knowing that we couldn't possibly help you.
