USB DSMLink

[LightningGSX]

Details:
The original DSMlink adapter contain the very common (MAX232)RS232 to TTL level converter, I've just replaced that converter with a USB to TTL converter.The rest of the adapter circuitry stays the same, so no piracy issues, and the DSMLink guys don't get their panties in a bunch.IMHO They should've done this years ago.

Doubt its patentable, and I'm not so sure I trust these guys not to just do it themselves.I've always got a sense of greed from the DSMLink guys, which I could be totally wrong about.In emails they had said they had a USB version in the works, but that was months ago.It took me a little over an hour to have a working one, which makes me think they don't really care about customer requests.

Or the original guy that designed it knew his shit, left the company, and now they don't know wft to do & don't want to admit it. ;)

Eric, I would love one of these.

Anyone want to buy a used-three-times usb-to-serial adaptor?

Maybe you should contact them about your cable. Maybe they'd be interested in working out a deal. All I know is the support Thomas and Dave provide on the DSMLink private forum is top rate. They have huge lists of requested improvements and I doubt USB is high on the list since serial works fine for most people but that doesn't mean they wouldn't be interested if someone else has already done the work.

If my serial port craps out I'd definetly me interested in a USB version but so far it's been flawless. Nice hack regardless!

Now if you could just make an adjustable circuit for my Stealth to turn off my AC at a particular TPS voltage that'd be great. Then I can be lazy and not tighten the belt. ;)

I could do that in my sleep.
