The pinout of the adapter in this years KoP is different.
These are the colors of the wires that should go to the pins of the DB9 connector:
Blue -> Pin 2
White -> Pin 3
Yellow -> Pin 5

If you use the resistor, it goes on red and green (I haven't found it necessary)

The black wire can be ignored

noted. you do need the terminator though.

Anybody else able to confirm the pinout? Unlike the db9 adapters from mono price these seem to use the correct color/rj12 color scheme. Unless I hear otherwise, I will promptly edit the document to reflect that.

Good and bad news:

good- all documents have been updated, including the pinout chart

bad- I was only able to upload the .pdf version; the other versions are no longer allowed for upload. I will see if there is a way around the issue, as the editable versions were actually seeing downloads before the filetype ban.

what was changed:

- pinout charts updated to include the 2012 pinouts (thank you ggorsuch for the tip!)
- changed some image formatting in the serial splice cable section
- added references to the 2012 adapter
- made some spelling fixes
- converted the document to Justified alignment to make it look more professional.

as always, comments and suggestions are always welcome.


EDIT- Weekend/build season wise, today happens to be the 1 year anniversary of the document's original writing.

Re: paper: You can do CAN: CAN on a Budget
 

The upload issue has been fixed. All files can be downloaded again.

Also made a few grammar repairs.

Re: paper: You can do CAN: CAN on a Budget
 

I have uploaded an updated version:

- Images converted to lossless JPG compression in the .pdf version.
- Added my new personal logo to the end of the document.

FYI, the revision date didn't change since there text is still the same.

Question: I noticed that IFI is now the producer of the Jags. Has the sites for where BDC-comm and the firmware changed? If so, I'll update the paper to reflect the change (as long as serial Can is legal, I'll support the paper).
