<div dir="ltr">I built a cloning cable from scratch today - but it didn't work. I had the red wire soldered to the TX pin and the white wire soldered to the RX pin as the Miklor instructions stated. On a hunch, I reversed the RX/TX wires and now it WORKS! The board had the RX and TX markings reversed. BTW my board has LED lights on it so while I am downloading/uploading I get a little light show! <br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 4, 2016 at 11:26 PM, Todd Bloomingdale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tbloomingdale@gmail.com" target="_blank">tbloomingdale@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><p dir="ltr">If the cable doesn't work, check the pin out.

How much did your FTDI cable cost? (Any chance it's built with a<br>
counterfeit FTDI part?)<br>
<br>
FTDI is playing the same sort of games as Prolific, detecting fake parts<br>
and declining to work with them. Do NOT downgrade to the driver FTDI<br>
circulated that re-writes the USB PID, bricking the part for most<br>
people. (There are utilities to re-re-write the PID, but they're beyond<br>
the ken of many people.) Does <a href="http://miklor.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">miklor.com</a> have info and driver d/l for<br>
FTDI?<br>
