The red wire goes to +5v, the black wire to U+ and the purple wire to ground. Your input is appreciated, Thank you
If you use the same color scheme as I did, it would be:
- Black: ground on the decoder, as well as the converter and supercap
- Red: +5V on the decoder, tied to the resistor that charges the supercap
- Purple: U+ on the decoder, to the output of the converter.
I'm on travel at the moment - I'll post details on the questions that you asked about above when I get a chance.
