This article describes how to make a USB to serial cable. With this cable it is possible to connect direct to Turbine units. This is useful when you have a unit that is bricked.
Preparing the cable for PC-Turbine serial connection
To connect the Turbine with the PC we have to modify the serial to USB cable.
The cable that we will use can be found here.
The original cable looks like this:
When the modification is done it should look like this:
Modifying the cable
There is no soldering or crimping required for this process.
First remove the metal connectors from the plastic casing. This is done by lifting the small plastic clip and then pulling the wire:
All the metal connectors must be removed:
When all the connectors are removed the cable should look like this:
