Step 7Connect Console Cable to plug
The results of our last test should tell us which color wire has which function. For the cable I used, the end results were:
1 - White - VCC
2 - Yellow - Clock
3 - Orange - Latch
4 - Red - Data
7 - Brown - GND
Now we just to to see which pin on the DB-15 each one goes to. Again, that information is in the .H file. For brevity's sake, I've remove the ones we tied High and Low in the earlier steps.
So now we know where each wire goes.:
D-Sub Pin Color
1 Brown
8 White
12 Yellow
13 Orange
14 Rad
Only 5 more connections to solder. For each wire in the cable, strip a very small amount of insulation off of the end to expose the bare metal wire, and solder it into the proper D-Sub pin.
In the case of VCC and GND (D-Sub pins 8 and 1), there is already a small piece of wire in there. That's why you should use thin wire. Melting the solder and inserting the new wire should not dislodge the existing wire. If you need to hold them steady in the port while the solder cools, a pair of fine tipped needle nose pliers does the job very well. This is also why you want to daisy chain the system select wires; trying to keep 3 or more wires inside the port while the solder cools can be very frustrating.
