Re: [emax] RS422 Cable for Emax / Mac connection

2005-08-12 by ted Summers

The cable is an 8-pin mini-DIN to 9 pin D-SUB.....I built my  
own.....just buy 2 of each end connector (about $6 for a total of 4  
connectors), buy wire more than long enough to reach (typical about 26  
cents a foot), and get a new tip with a small end for your soldering  
iron. If you get a good soldering iron (not some $10 Radio Shack junk)  
it will make an easier job of it. 15W soldering iron that costs around  
$25 is reasonable, then test doing wires and soldering to a board that  
is bad or something like that for practice. That is how you learn.....  
in the beginning that is how I had to do it...

PS- the reason a more expensive soldering iron helps is this: cheap  
irons lose their heat and so as you solder, the iron loses strength and  
you either don't get a good connection, or you have to hold the iron  
there and it heats the plastic of the connectors (ruining the end). A  
good soldering iron won't lose heat as fast and cause that to  
happen....(solder stations won't really lose heat at all- at least  
noticeable to the average user)

Good luck,
Ted
