CMU Cam on an EDU-RC

My team's trying to test out our tracking code by mounting the camera on an EDU robot, but we've run into a little problem - how do you plug in the RS-232 to TTL converter? The converter's made for 4 pins, but the EDU-RC has only 3.

If it's falling apart it's a mechanical problem. If it's spewing smoke it's a electrical problem.
If it's rampaging around destroying things it's a programming problem.

Re: CMU Cam on an EDU-RC

Thanks for the quick reply, and that diagram's just what we needed.
We actually solved the problem by plugging another PWM cable into the RS232 board to go to the TTL.

Oh, and btw, I tried to search for help on this, but "edu" is rejected by the search function as being too short.
