Breakout board SIO2PC question

Recommended Posts

I'm interested in building one of these SIO2PC connectors- http://www.stephens-home.com/sio2usb/

 

I don't have an SIO cable, so I was just going to get M/F jumpers and connect them directly into the SIO port of the computer. So my question is, is the SIO cable straight-through (meaning is the pinout for the computer's SIO port the same as the end of an SIO cable)? If not, could someone supply me with the port's pinout?

the cable is straight through... and you only need to hook up 4 lines, TXD, RXD, /COMMAND, and GND...

Take a look at my pictures in the German ABBUC Forums. They should tell you everything you need to know: http://abbuc.de/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6102#p46221

 

Works fine with SIO2OSX, has some issues with SIO Server.

 

Edit: I used Pin 4 and 6 on GND, but using only Pin 4 (white) should work well, too. This is done after Michael Ellis documentation for SIO Server.
