Question 3pin RS232 port doesnt work on camera. can't debug while connecting through the DB9.
Hi Everyone,
I have used Kevin's (thanks Kevin!) serial port diagnostic utility to find the problem with our camera. it seems that the 3pin connector on the camera is faulty and thus I can't use the TTL port to connect to the camera.

On the other hand I can't make sure it's all working while connecting the camera to the programming port through the DB9 cable, because the programming port is taken up....

Any Ideas on how I can debug the camera with the terminal while connecting it through the DB9 cable?

Thanks!
-Leav
