Megasquirt adapter cable.
Hi, I would like to get hold of two D 37 sockets, and hoods, plus a legth of cable to make up the cable from MS to adapter board. Tried Maplins, and
RS with no luck. Anybody know of somewhere that I could get hold of these items. Cheers, Ray

We use a component firm at work called CPC. Its a big catalogue like RS and Maplins. Often, they stock more of the unusual stuff. I think they have a
web site too.

Great guy's, thats the D37's sorted, now just need to find a firm that will sell me a couple of meters of cable, (instead of 100m for
£'s hundreds)  Cheers, Ray

Can't you find a ready made 'pin for pin' cable? Serial printer cable maybe?
Cheers,

Been buying from CPC for years... you could build house from the catalogues they're so big!
Farnell own CPC now anyway... or is it the other way around?
Anyway, they're the same thing.
HTH,
James

As far as I remember, Mega/jolt/squirt only use the tx and rx pins, so just use a bit of Cat5 and connect the 2 pins that you need.
Saying that, Cat5 has 8 cores and you only need 9 to make a full cable !
Its plenty big enough to use - drop me a U2U if you want a metre or 10 off my roll of Cat5
Cheers
Peter

I wouldn't trust one to take some of the higher currents involved e.g. the main 12v and the injector/ignition earths. You could make it from a
length of multicore cable and a couple of separate single cores for the heavier loads though...

Thanks Guy's, now got it sorted, got the cable, sockets and hoods. Now the fun begins soldering it all up. Ray
