To Clarify this information - The color codes are from the wires on the FTDI USB Cable (USB-RS232-WE-1800-BT-0.0) - The only wires that will be connected are the Yellow Wire that will be connected to Pin 2 of the Male 9 pin connector Orange Wite that will be connected to Pin 3 of the Male 9 pin connector Black Wire that will be connected to Pin 5 of the Male 9 pin connector - The Green Wire on the USB cable is the RTS Line The Brown Wire on the USB cable is the CTS line The Green and Brown Wires should be connected to each other and nothing else.- The Red wire is unused - This should clear up any confusion
