Seeduino Stalker and FTDI cable (USB - serial)
« on: April 09, 2012, 08:38:25 PM »
The 5 V FTDI cable (http://shop.boxtec.ch/product_info.php/products_id/40385 ) doesn't pass well for the Stalker card. Originally, the signals are connected as follow:
Color    FTDI        Stalker
---------------------------
Black     0V            0V
Braun    CTS          0V
Red       5V            5V
Orange  Tx            Rx
Yellow    Rx           Tx
Green    RTS          DTR

The correct connection must be:
Color    FTDI        Stalker
---------------------------
Black     0V            0V
Braun    CTS          0V
Red       5V            5V
Yellow   Rx            Rx
Orange Tx            Tx
Green   RTS          DTR

And all work fine!
It to be mentioned too: the speed of a serial is divided by 2. By example, a connection initialized as:
Serial.begin(9600);
The Terminal must be adjusted for 4800 Baud.
