    Exclamation RS232 to TTL adapter for flashing?

    Hello guys, just looked at the connections and it seems that the VCI uses the TTL type of communication for firmware upgrades... ex:

    http://www.nkcelectronics.com/rs232-...33v232335.html

    Would a simple RS232 (COM-Port) to TTL adaptor be enough to flash the VCI-100 (of course, making a custom and fitting connection to the VCI itself with 6 pins), or is it not TTL?

    EDIT: Yes it will translate the signals correctly but as Ean mentions in the bottom of the thread,unlike the DJTT Firmware Kit , this is only half baked. Constructing and soldering a fitting connection (and not screwiing the pinout) for the VCI is required for it to work!

    Regards, Jocke from Sweden

    just in case someone reads this thread and gets confused. The product above is not a plug and play replacement for our firmware kits:

    the product above must be modified and re-wired to work with VCi-100 but does provide the same essential purpose.

    Yepp, it is certainly not complete and I have edited the first post to reflect this
