Hi, I just needed to verify the pin naming of the subject cable.
http://www.adafruit.com/products/954
white RX into USB port, and green TX out of the USB port
In the description - does the above state the cable-sides pin, or what it's expected to be connected to?
---
I also need to ask, when I created this forum account, I expected my order history to follow the email address or name, but it hasn't.
Can the administration of this site check into that, and link my order name/email with this sites account?
I didn't create one when I ordered the cable.

Re: Pin naming on the Prolific USB to TTL cable
When your talking about TTL serial. The RX of your debugging/ console cable will connect to the TX of your device and vise versa for the RX line.
This was a head scratcher for me when I was starting too. In a nutshell an RX line can only connect to TX pin. And a TX pin can only connect to a RX line.
As far as the account thing goes, I dunno. Your in now. That's what matters

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. :)
This is the way I have it, but I'm getting gibberish on the Putty terminal
****EDITED****
57600 speed worked. I can now see the text properly.
