RE: WP34s Programming Cable
What kept me from taking the WP34s plunge for the longest time was all the voodoo surrounding the cable. I had to really dig before discovering it was 3V non-inverted serial (the signals normally found on the other side of the RS232 inverter / driver / level shifter) and that the special buttons on the adapter aren't necessary.
Buy a USB logic level serial cable from China for $4 delivered, hold the RX & TX connectors on the pads with your fingers during the programming phase, and it's game over. If you plan on reprogramming it 10 times a day or something, take it apart and solder pins onto the pads. A pogo connector - finding and buying all the parts and assembling it - is way overkill IMO if you're only going to repump it every now and then. |
