okay.what is pin is VCC on the RS232 ? I have blue tx brown rx green grd but cannot find what pin VCC is for .

[Baxter]

I have scoured the net and appear to be finding conflicting information about the pin out, which mine is a little more complicated because I am going from a usb to serial adapter and then from 9 pin serial to 4 pin . I cannot find any information about where to connect the 5v PIN to serial (VCC) . I tried with just the first two pins and ground just to see if I didnt need the VCC, but I a just getting assembly code.

Switch your tx and RX that's the output when there backwards
And you will need the ground
I never need to use the vcc

[drewmerc]

that all depends on what chip is inside (or try it without vcc)

[Baxter]

Thanks Everyone! I will give a try !

I tried with reversed TX and RX and I get nothing with it reversed and grounded. It apparently needs VCC . Anyone know which pin the VCC goes to on . I am using a Prolific USB to Serial adapter and a straight thru serial cable connecting to board.

LMAO I think your right man, I was using 96X That explains it . I need to mess with settings. I was just using the default settings I use to connect Cisco routers. My inquisitive mind wanted to change things to see what happened but then I didn't cause I was sure they were right. HA!

Nahhh, just walk away from it for a day or two and go back with a different mindset.
