STEP 4: 
 
Connecting the hardware to the DIO 
Board 

 
 
The GF-DIO Board comes with 88 
positions for components to be added.  
Each position is a made up of a 3-pin 
connection.  Once the hardware 
components are plugged into the wire 
assembly, plug the other end of the 
wire assembly into one of the positions 
on the DIO board, taking note of the 
number position for later configuration. 
 
Take note the 3-pin connectors have 
two positions each and a ground wire in 
the middle.  The order works like this, 
first pin is the first position, second pin 
is the ground wire and the third pin is 
the second position.  Then on the next 
wire, the first pin repeats the second 
position, the second pin remains as the 
ground and the third pin is the third position.  The pattern repeats throughout the DIO board.     
 

 

STEP 5:  
 
Connecting the GF-DIO Board 

 
 
Now the GF-DIO Board must be connected to the 
computer.  With the provided USB cable, simply plug 
the appropriately matching ends into both the GF-DIO 
Board’s USB slot and any non USB 3 port on the 
computer tower.   
 
Once the GF-DIO board is completely connected to 
the computer, it is ready to be configured for use with 
your flight simulation software.
