How to make RS232 cable for SkySensor 2000 to connect to a PC
Does anyone know how to make RS232 cable for the SkySensor 2000?
I bought the SkySensor 2000 without the Mini Din 8 Serial port. I solder one on the board and make a RS232 cable according to the manual RxD and TxD crossed. But the Terminal software cannot see any response from the SkySensor 2000. Anyone know what I need to modify the SkySensor 2000? Jumpers? Thanks in advance. David L. |

I have a working one at home and could check the pin out for you if you can't find it. Cheers Terry B |
