ive just purchased the nk204 bit tech offer and didnt realise cables (male-female serial cables werent supplied, and i also need a power cable)

ive emailed both support@ and info@ and am awaiting a reply.

i thought i better post here incase henry doesnt get my mail intime to add the cables to my order (if at all possible?)

if not will the nk204 take a normal floppy cable (i think theyre 12v?)

if so then the cables will not be that much of a problem, as i can goto maplins on monday and purchase both a m2f serial and 12v floppy power cable.

please help me :smile:

A normal floppy cable won't do... but you can modify one so that it will do very easily - you just need to swap thepins around a little bit, see the lcd's manual to be shown how :smile:

Cheers,

The only danger with this, is that if you are daft enough (like me) you forget what you've modified and then blow something else up :smile:. My preffered method is not to glue on a small convertor cable on the back so that I can use a standard power connector, and not worry that I've got something wrong...But then again I keep chaning things around so it may not be not such a problem!
