By the way....because of the "buds" on the Pogo Boards instead of a proper connector....
wouldn't it be a good idea to solder a USB-A receptacle to the "buds" and then dremel the sidewall to fit the receptacle?
I tried it, but....it didn't work so well for me...but any of you might have better luck. What I put instead was a receptacle that takes a "Mini-Molex" plug that you normally find in the back of 3.5" floppy drives. I took mine off an old USB2 Card that was broken and laying around...
i know some of you know what I'm talking about when I say "mini-molex."
I know that there is a page, depicting it's owner using what appears to be a Soundblaster-16 Stereo plug, or some other 4 pin plug receptacle, that had wires extending out from the soldered buds from the Bottom, and wrapped its way across the bottom of the pogo, to the other side of the pogo, where the 4 pin receptacle was...I think his name started with an H or something....i can't remember now...
BUT I'm guessing i'll have to order the adafruit USB to TTL cable, with the Single pin jumpers for 12 bucks and the 5 bucks shipping...
at least there's Win7 drivers for it...maybe win7x64 drivers because that's what I'm running, now!
does anyone have any idea How I can setup a BOOTP server, on Win7 Ult and have it feed my pogo UBOOT through my router? At least that way I can get the thing running again without having to crack open another pogo.
Or....can I jury-rig an ethernet cable to handle things? I noticed that when I soldered the leads to my "mini-molex" receptacle to the "buds" on the Pogo board....and then checked connectivity using a simple plug outlet tester with a bulb and battery setup...when I crossed the wires on pins 2 and 3 the green and yellow lights on the ETHERNET receptacle flashed! So I know that somehow, serial MIGHT be done through the ethernet receptacle....but HOW?????
