Hello.
Now I want to connect the Super Carrier with the PC.Everybady know that the RS232 have 9 Pins,but now I can confirm:when I connect it, the·"2·Pin" of the RS232 in Super Carrier must connect with "2 Pin" of PC' RS232 or "3 Pin" ?
Thank you !

    You are supposed to use a serial extension cable (male on·one end, female on the other), 1 to 1, 2 to 2,... 9 to 9.

    Lin,

    · If you're talking to the BASIC Stamp (Or Programming it) through the programming port, then you should be using a standard straight-through serial cable.· This means each pin will connect to the same number pin on the other side.· Cables with pin 2 to 3, etc. or cross-over cables, serial link cables or null-modem cables won't work.· Now, on the other hand, if you are using general Stamp I/O pins to communicate, then you will have to do things a bit different.

    BTW, this is actually a duplicate thread...I removed the copy, but please try not to post the same question more than once in the forums.· Thanks.
