Serial Leads?

[deadfolk]

Does anyone know where I could get a GP2X serial lead these days? Toyz4Boyz aren't selling them any more, and I need one to unbrick my 2X.

Thanks in advance,

art103 sells them, but they do come with a usb host cable and hub stuck on the end

i am also interested in picking up a gp2x to serial (DB9) cable, but i don't need any voltage changing, just the right pins going to the right place.

any sources appreciated

You don't want voltage changing? That's quite odd, what are you going to connect it to?

Thanks, Squidge...that should do it.

Maybe a dreamcast? haha

Yeah, that is a little strange with a DB9 connector though.

i have a db9<->midi converter that works with the gp32, which also gives only 3v

Ah, I see. I don't think you are going to find anyone that does that however, as the voltage convertors are so cheap, and can normally be got for free as samples

Same here

Please PM if you are able to lend a cable, thanks

while the voltage converter might be inexpensive to include in a cable, the battery must drain faster!

that is why i would prefer a serial cable without a voltage converter ... and why someone may make one.

however, any thing would do for the moment so perhaps i'll have to build this:

If you don't want to drain the battery faster (it's really negligable anyway, but...) then you can power the max3232 from the PC's serial port rather than the ext port. This is what I've done myself.
