Cable Making?

Post by Shawnotron »

Can anyone point me to a good how-to for making a serial-to-usb cable for the sim reader?

Thanks for any help.

After you buy all the parts it is not worth building your own when you can get one for around $20 Unless you just want to do it for the education.

Yeah, I want to do it for funzies. I like making things on my own instead of buying them if I can.

Well you will need a FTDI usb chip and a usb connector so you might as well start here http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... cts_id=718 Or you can get the chip and connector and make your own PCB.
