Hi, I want to connect a "LPC1788 Developer’s Kit" board to my PC. I have RS232 port in both sides. Should i use straight and crossed RS232 cable ? thank you in advance.
People,
I asked the idiot (sorry the OP) for details of the board. All he said was "LPC1788 Developer’s Kit". Is that a Keil product? I can't see it mentioned at http://www.keil.com/boards/cortexm.asp
We don't have a clue about the board or where it came from. It could be a cheap Chinese board with the wiring all swapped over.
So all other assumptions are just that. Assumptions.
The bord is "LPC1788 Developer’s Kit", it's an embedded artists product "">www.embeddedartists.com/.../lpc1788_kit.php"
This is what you must do:
1. look-up the pinout of the PC COM port (google);
2. look-up the pinout of the board's RS-232 connector (Please read the manual);
3. you should be able to take it from there...
Get (or make) yourself something like this for checking:
www.bb-elec.com/product11.asp
So why aren't you asking Embedded Artists, then?
This has nothing to do with Keil!
Working link: www.embeddedartists.com/.../lpc1788_kit.php (never put any punctuation on a URL; the forum will include it in the link - that's why the link in your post doesn't work).
It says:
"Included in Kit: ... • Serial number that gives you access to the support site for this product"
So why aren't you using that?!
It does seem a bit perverse that they incude a USB cable - which really is standard - but not an appropriate RS232 cable - of which there are many options & variations!
For pity's sake!
Give it a break man. The question has been answered and you still keep posting these occasional messages, seemingly answering yourself.
Haven't you got anything better to do?
