Does anyone know whats inside this? I want to make another one as mine is burried and I'm too skint to buy one.
if its a terminator then it'll be a balance resistor
Assuming the bloke who's borrowed my multimeter gives mine back, I'll see what mine bells out like - of course it'll still be hard to tell if it's just a resistor or if there's anything else involved.
Nothing on the Innovate forums? Probably not, I suppose, as they have a vested interest s:lol: :lol: s:lol:
normally a terminator is just a resistor unless it requires timing, which will incorporate an inductor/capacitor circuit, but thats rare and normally only used in multiplexing circuits
Hey well a restance to try would be good. I'm happy to try it. With my luck I'll blow the car up but thats how you learn isn't it. I sort of like being the one to try new things.
remember the old rule, measure, measure, measure
Thought it was cut first. swear alot then go and buy another one and start again?
been there, done that .........................oooops

Well, the worst thing you could do is blow the LC-1 up - apparently they are quite electrically sensitive s:( :( s:( (Shorting the analogue outputs will kill them, for example).
Stu - it's not a multiplexed circuit, it's a simple two-wire RS-232 circuit in fact, no flow control lines even AFAIK. Still, it works s;) ;) s;)
Ooh - I love the post window of phpBB3 - it told me that the thread had changed, I scrolled down and clicked Quote next to the post I wanted to reply to.. all without leaving this window. Nice!
It's not for the LC1. It's for the XD16. I have one in the LC1 already but can't get at it now it's installed. I need to make another programing cable but with a 2.5 female plug to program that from the dash end. then the terminator for the XD16.
BUMP
Anyone had a chance to get a meter on one yet. I'm going to Maplin tomorrow and was gonna get these bits at the same time.
