<strong>Serial cable connection</a></strong> |
|
</font></h3> |
|
All of these machines require a special serial cable which does |
|
voltage conversion, and can hopefully be purchased along with the |
|
card. This cable normally contains a little max232 or similar chip |
|
which converts from the 3.3V signals to +/-12V. Or you can attempt |
|
to build your own using |
|
<a href="http://www.mizore.jp/wiki/index.php?LANDISK%2Fserial-console"> |
|
some Japanese instructions</a>. |
|
<p> |
|
The cable converts from a DB9 connector to a 5-pin header (3.3V Rx Tx GND NC). |
|
All the boards have a 5-pin connector (called CN7) which the cable can plug |
|
into; except for the USL-5P which has a 4-pin header and also requires that |
|
the Rx and Tx pins be swapped. The IO-DATA cable has pins which can grip the |
|
inside of the holes. |
|
<p> |
|
A USL-5P is shown with a modified little cable. The DB9 is glued into a slot |
|
cut into the plastic between the ethernet and a USB port. |
