Serial-To-Serial?

Can you program a Picaxe if you use an adapter to connect the serial programming cable to a 15 pin serial connecter? Or could you simply use jumper wires with male headers to connect them? If so which pin needs to connect to which?

Do you mean 15 pin?

You mean 9-pin right?

And yes, the picaxe manual shows the end of a 9 pin connector and which pins the “headphone plug” is connected to. You still will need the 10k/22k set-up on the picaxe board.

Not what I meant.

I mean, can you use a serial-to-serial adapter so you can connect the Picaxe Serial Programming to a 15-pin serial port.

DB9 or DB25, never 15

Are you talking about very ancient twenty five pin serial ports? DB25?

Once more: TWENTY five? Because I have never heard of the port you are talking about. That almost sounds like a video (VGA) port… Don’t hook up your electronics to a VGA port. That can’t be good.

Yup 15-pin…

I second rik --that is not a serial port, that is a VGA port. Don’t put things there.
