Re: db25 ribbon extender
AS Alan has pointed out, it is easy to make the appropriate jumpers. Digikey also sells both ribbon cable and the connectors. Be sure to order the right sex and connectors with the right number of pins. The NI modules are 37 pin and you must wire all pins. (Pin 37 is an enable pin I believe.) You can purchase the crimp tool to assemble the connectors or you can use a small vise. Please be sure that everything is insulated when you move the interface boards. And while we are on the subject, the jumper to monitor battery voltage at the OI must be in place on the first analog module. This is required by robot rules per R64.
<R64> A National Instruments 9201 module must be installed in slot 1 of the cRIO Mobile Device Controller. An analog breakout must be connected to this module. A jumper must be installed on the “Battery Voltage” and “Power” pins on the analog breakout.
