Chrony PC Interface Cable project.

I'd be interested depending on the answer to the next question :
does the F1 Chrony have the jack port?

[Stot]

Yes the F1 does have the jack, thats what i have in pics in the original post.

On the software side, It will only recognisse ports 1 and 2 BUT most modern PCS have Com1 and Com3 taken if any so the USB-serial cable should be able to be set to com 2 and be used.

Cheers

Excellent! I don't need the USB-serial though as I have a nice old Dell subnotebook with a serial port and I intend to hang onto it as the old RS232 is dying out in modern PCs.

Havent forgotten about this, im just waiting on a part to turn up and i can make you a cable.

Also have some special software for you to try it with.

Hi Guys.

Got the parts in and made up my first cable.

> SERIAL PIC <
> USB PIC <

As you can see a very neat solution. The USB works great with it too, even in Vista.

So, I have enough to make 10 of these so I guess as im 'selling' these, to avoid any issues I should put a post in the New Items section. Anyone know which mod I need to ######## to be able to do that?

Just post the ad in the New Items section, and the first mod to see it will probably approve it.

Stotty, thanks for doing the foot work mate, I resisted getting a printer, partly because I could not find the jack () and partly becuase I could not see the point, this however makes sense.

Deffo interested in teh USB version (just got a new craptop and most modern ones dont have serial...plays havoc at work as a lot of kit is...yes..you guessed it...serial)

How much, and how
