It looks like a question that is missing a question mark, a period, a space, and the word "what".     It must be some sort of game to try to figure out what he means.   

Would it be better if I put a ? mark at the end of my question?

Bringing back an old thread is the breakout from easyadapters the one that i would need to connect a Xantech CSM1 to a SJ-TB3+ ?

it is almost understandable.  now just insert the strategic semi-colon to separate your thoughts.   good luck!

How about quit being a A** and answer the question. Or what are you just spamming and posting to get your count up?

Hope it is the right one ordered 10 of them.

well aren't you pleasant.

All I did was ask for help and your response was to critique my grammar...

we honestly could hardly understand what you were trying to say on your first post.   maybe you should try re-reading what you post and see for yourself.

here is your answer:

it took me 15 seconds to google it.  first page of the manual.

That says nothing about the SJ-TB3+ which was what my question was about.

the part is labled T, R, S.   this stands for Tip, Ring, Sleeve.

I guess I figured you wanted to know the stuff about the CSM1 that wasn't obvious.


looking at the diagram for the CSM1 that i posted above, you should be able to match up the tip, ring, sleeve.  

I think you should try out the video sensors you've got. I put a lot of value n the "zero budget solution," which means not spending a dime and yet coming up with an answer. Realize that if trying it out means cutting off a connector, you're lowering the value of the sensor, but that might be worth the risk.

That said, I don't think that will work. Before you try the sensors, throw, oh, I don't know, a monitor on the output you're trying to use for a sensing voltage, and see if it loses sync when the box is off.  Or even a voltmeter!


His point was perfectly valid. I read your post and wondered what the hell it was about. That is not an issue of grammar, but of basic communication.

When I first read it, it started to fall apart here:


This sounds like a poetic approach to


But no, it wasn't that.  That was lack of a comma.  And, see, a dumb grammar mistake like that instantly puts one on alert that anything else can be wrong in the sentence, but doesn't suggest any helpful answers.


Oh, wait a minute -- I did not understand until this moment that you did not mean THAT, you meant WHAT. Someone else mentioned that but I didn't get it at that point.


This is not a grammar issue.  If you had written "who"  there, it would be equally incomprehensible but use the same correct part of speech.

Frankly, I'd prefer something like this:


Since you don't even frakkin' mention what the old thread is, why bring it up at all? How about


Long sentences do not do us any good in these forums. Use simpler sentences and you'll get your ideas across better.

And now I just realized that you were referring tho this thread when you talk of bringing back an old thread.

See, most of the time when we see a thread, we jump in and try to help. We don't often carefully check to see if some bonehead new member is trying to answer a question that was asked two years ago.

Well, you didn't do that, but while it was obvious to you that you were appending your question to an old thread, it sure wasn't to me. Maybe not to others, too.

If you can post, you can start a new thread. It's easier to deal with new questions than to deal with questions added to old threads, so please just start a new thread in the future.
