Leadshine AM822 drivers purchased!

[Agathon]

I bought the Leadshine RS232 cable, and a USB to RS232 adapter cable, and run Protuner on my laptop. It works fine.

With ProTuner, I set my current reduction to 30%, to keep my motors even cooler.

Many thanks Gerry - is there anything special about the Leadshine cable? I wonder if a standard RJ11 plug to USB adapter would work.

Not sure. I posted the pinout info in another thread. http://www.mycncuk.com/threads/10842...1052#post91052

Thanks Gerry, that helps. If I can find the pinouts from the RS232 to USB then I'll knock-up a cable.

A USB to RS232 adapter is not just a wiring adapter. It has a chip and other electronics, and requires a Windows driver. So while you can make your own RS232 to RJ11 cable, you'll still need to purchase a USB to RS232 adapter.

Ah, OK - just wasted the last hour knocking up an adapter! Back to the drawing board.

You need something like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-RS232-C.../dp/B00077DJIQ or one from Maplin some of these don't work well with 64 bit systems.
The pin outs on the cable are directed at the DB9 plug not the usb plug.
Also you just might have a serial header on the mother board of the pc. in this case you won't need the adapter.

I think I'm using this one, which works fine in Windows 10Pro x64.

There is no problem making your own if I remember correctly there is only 4 wires. I am away at this time but I seem to think the pin out was on the website leadshine
