If you were building one I would recommend an all in one cable that hooks straight from a USB port to any model t particularly the model 100 with no adapters necessary. Also it should be full null rather than defeating flow control as the old complink cable did in order to support programs like

I can't check all the details right now but I believe this is the USB to db25 male null modem cable I posted about a few months back. Though the price at that time was $25 not $45.

Yes, I have been looking into Ftdi and max232 since I'm getting into a homebrew (i.e. serial) Arduino project as of late. This has similar problems to communication with a m100 type machine. How many of these cables, dongles would the community need per year? Thanks Dave NV3F On Wed, Dec 2,

Hi Kurt, I have one of these cables and yes, the housing is too thick for the M100. It works fine for the 102 and 200. Don On 12/02/2015 09:50 AM, Kurt McCullum wrote: I can't check all the details right now but I believe this is the USB to db25 male null modem cable I posted about a few

USB to serial converter with a 6ft cable can be ordered directly from the OEM of the chip for a reasonable price. See http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBRS232.htm#UC232R-10. Just a DB25 connector w/housing has to be fitted to it. Georg Am 02.12.2015 21:28 schrieb "Kurt McCullum"

I'm still not quite sure why all the USB to Serial converters end in 9-pin male - so you need another cable to connect to pretty much anything. Is there a reason why a null-modem configuration with a 9-pin female isn't the norm? I can't think of one. 95% of people buying one of these things
