[TriEmbed] Raspberry Pi 2 rocks...

[Kyle Thorson]

I ran across that URL as well.  That is the best explanation I have come
across. I verified that my cable has ground wired to the ring at the
sleeve.  The RPi2 requires video to be wired at the sleeve and ground as
the next ring.  I was hoping someone might know where to find a cable that
is wired the correct way for the Pi.  Is the RPi2's layout a UK thing? I
may just make my own cable, but I didn't want to mess with that if I could
help it.
