Hi Jason: RS-422 and RS-484 are differential systems BUT can be directly connected to RS-232 equipment. See: http://www.prc68.com/I/Trimpack.shtml#Com and look at the I/O cable paragraph and table. Pay no attention to the pin letters for the mil connector and read the footnotes under the tabl

Interesting you would mention that! After my first post I pulled the board with the connector and was looking at the traces from the DB-25. One of the chips nearby is a SN75176AP which I found a PDF saying it is a differential bus transceiver (RS422). I have a SBC that you can set the com port to R

RS-485 is a balanced drive (i.e., 2 floating wires). It would be better to power it up and see if the standard RS-232 signal levels are present on the proper pins (2 & 3) before doing anything else (assuming absence of a manual). I do not know if there is a standard pinout for RS-485 on a dsub 2

It might be RS-485 and so multiple displaies could have its own address on a multidrop setup. About the only trick there is finding out if its 2 or 4 wire 485 (probably 2 because of the address). Think I've seen some USB to 485 converters on the market, but you might get away with driving it with

So off of an impulse (and low bid of $9.99) I bought a Kode 375-928 display off eBay. No picture or anything in the auction, but I figured I would take the chance and hopefully nobody else would bid. A huge box came today, and guess what was inside? This display has to be about 3 to 4 feet long! I
