Default Oudie Cable

Pinout for USB mini-b can be found at...

http://pinouts.ru/Slots/USB_pinout.shtml

Note Pin "X" on this pinout, (Pin 4 by normal convention) needs to be
connected to 3.3v.
This is a "Sense" pin and tells the Oudie that the USB port should act as
an old fashioned Serial (RS232) port.
(Same is true for the WayteQ PNAs that look very similar to the Oudie)

Yes you will need a Max 3232 or similar level converter

Good luck with finding a USB cable with all 5 wires connected.

Just curious, does anyone know the pinout for the USB connector on the
Oudie. I'm assuming that the Rs-232 signal will have to be converted to a


TTL signal using a max-232 converter or similar, but I've not found the
connector specs anywhere yet.

Thanks
