need tech knowledge help.
« on: March 15, 2015, 07:56:49 PM »
So I made a eeprom reader/writer for the Xbox but mybproblem is my computers Dont have a 9 pin d sub connection. My question is can I just buy a adapter (9 pin male d sub to 15 pin female vga adapter)? I'm curious if this would work or if this would screw up the connections as I have diodes and resistors hooked up? If anyone knows anything about this it would be much appreciated.

Here's a link to how everything is wired up to the 9 pin d sub.

Here's a schematic of the conversion from the 9 pin to 15 pin.

No, it would never work. The HD15 connector on your PC is a video output, not a serial Input/Output COM port like the DB9 connector is.

You'll need a USB - 232 adapter cable so you can have a VCP, Virtual Com Port.
Screwing up is one of the best learning tools, so long as the only thing you're not learning is how to screw up.
