This guide is part of the kit approach to providing a minimally-invasive upgrade to the stock HasLab controllers. For the Proton Pack all stock connections can be made using the available JST-XH connectors on all existing wiring. The diagram below details the standard HasLab connections.
Connections for the pack should be made according to the tables below.
- Ordering aligns with PCB labels or when viewed left-to-right with the connector keyhole at the bottom.
- Pins denoted D# correspond to the internal code and connection to the controller chip.
- Ground may be designated as "GND" or simply "-".
| Label | Pins | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| BATTERY 5V-IN | +/- | Power from battery. This MUST be a regulated 5V source! |
| Volume | D3/GND/D2 | Rotary encoder connection for pack volume adjusted via crank generator knob. |
| SW1 | D31/GND | Stock connection for main switch under the Ion Arm. |
| SW3/SW4 | GND/D27/D25/GND | Stock connection for Cyclotron panel toggles: SW3 (2 pins on left side) = Year Mode Toggle. SW4 (2 pins on right side) = Vibration toggle. |
| SW6 | GND/D23 | Stock connection for ribbon cable disconnection alarm (wire order does not matter). |
| M1 | VCC/GND | Stock connection for pack vibration motor (D45) or cyclotron motor1. |
| Power Cell | VCC/D53/GND/PCCYC | Stock connection for Power Cell LEDs (continues to Cyclotron Lid). |
| Cyclotron | D43/GND/PCCYC/VCC | Stock connection Cyclotron lens LEDs (continues from Power Cell), includes lid sensor. |

| AUDIO BOARD | GND/NC/VCC/TX/RX/NC | Communication and Power for the pack's GPStar Audio or WAV Trigger.Connector type: JST-PH |
| NEUTRONA WAND 5V-OUT | +/- | Power to the Neutrona Wand.Connector type: JST-XH |
| NEURTONA WAND (Serial) | RX2/TX2 | Serial communication to the Neutrona Wand.Connector type: JST-XH |
| ICSP | DO NOT USE! | Reserved header for bootloader updates (reserved).Connector type: Header pins |
| UART | See Below | Programming header for software updates (optional).Connector type: Header pins |
For connecting the UART pins, use a suitable FTDI chip such as the same FTDI Basic 5V chip used for programming GPStar Audio or a WAV Trigger. Pins on the PCB should align with with the standard wire order for FTDI-to-USB cables which use a single Dupont 6-pin connector. Observe these common colors and notes to ensure proper orientation:
- The ground pin will typically be a black wire, while VCC will typically be red.
- The DTR pin on the PCB will connect to a wire labelled either DTR or RTS.
- Any wire labelled CTS will be connected to the 2nd pin labelled GND on the PCB.
- Be careful to not reverse the connector!
