===X12-upper===
Pin 1 is the right-most. These are active-low with an internal 3.3 kOhm pull-up resistor.<br>
Use with a RJ45 (8P8C) modular connector. Can be used with straight unshielded or shielded CAT3/5/5e cables (<b>don't</b> use crossover cables!)<br>
Configuration of input modes is done in the X12 input configuration dialog in SimuCUBE firmware 0.11.0 and later. If Buttons is configured, then optionally pin 7 can be a shift button, which will affect both X12 inputs pins so that buttons 1-16 will become 17-32.

==Internal connector pinouts==
{{damage|EXT-LEDS connector is directly wired to microcontroller I/O pins without any protection devices (such as ESD clamp diodes, or resistors). Any miswiring may cause permanent damage to the drive.}}

==External resistor connection==
For SimuCUBE Hardware Revision 2 (1r005 printed on the PCB), it is possible to use an external regenerative braking resistor. Suitable external resistor should have resistance of 2.5 Ohm and rated power of at least 25 Watts. We recommend 50 Watts.

Please note, that if, for whatever reason, the internal resistor on the SimuCUBE has cracked, the steps listed [[SimuCUBE troubleshooting]] should be performed to analyze the health of the MOSFET transistor.

On SimuCUBE 1r005, the pinout of the external resistor connection has changed compared to the above image. Please refer to the markings on the SimuCUBE board.
