3: EQDirect RJ 45 cableI have used an EQDirect cable I made for my EQ6 mount, that mount has a DSUB 9 pin connector. Then I bought a HEQ5 mount, that mount has another connector, RJ45. I made an adapter from 9 pin D-sub to RJ45 and could us it on both of my mounts. Now I make a new cable that I can connect direct to the HEQ5 mount. You can read about my EQ6 cable here . This is the adapter I made earlier, several times it have get loose. Better with a cable that connects direct with the RJ45 connector. This is how the USB to TTL Volt 5 volts cable looks before I cut the cable. The CTS and RTS signal isn't used in this case, not the VCC Voltage either. Don't make the cable too long, it can be stuck on protruding devices. I didn't have a correct tool to crimp the RJ45 contact direct to the cable and I instead use an old Ethernet cable that I cut and solder together with the TTL adapter cable. Later I bought a special tool for this RJ45 connectors. Some information how to make the cable:
Note: I tested the cable and it didn't work, maybe better to attach the connector direct on the cable and don't use a joint with an old cable. I to be sure that I don't mix the wires I compare with the cable I already had. I connect the wires on this new exact as the old one. This time I have bought a new crimp tool for the RJ45 connector. Now with a new RJ45 connecter mounted it looks professional. Connect it to the equipment and did a new test, it didn't work this time either, no connection. I have to buy a new TTL to USB adapter, something must be wrong with it.
