Re: Firecracker and USB-Serial

Just buy the apropriate cables and if they plug in they work. All the
confusion was created by those not understanding that the IEEE EIA-232 was
defined within an inch of it's life. No hammers for the connections though.

Next we can get into signal lines that everybody wanted to violate...LOL It
gets complicated by, again, **sigh** the companies that wanted to break out
on their own.

Well, the computer is wired as a DTE and has a male connector.  To connect
to a DCE device, you simply use a straight through Male-Female cable.  If
you want to connect to another DTE device, you use a null-modem
Female-Female
cable.  The real trick is how you cross-connect the signals in the
null-modem
cable, though, and which signals each DTE asserts when idle and which
signals it expects to start the conversation.
