RS232 to 3.3V to 5V TTL Serial Converter Cable This converter provides two way RS232 serial communications signal conversion between the TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) output (from an OOPic or other PIC) to and from a personal computer RS232 serial COM port.

This converter can be used on any Micro controller which has TTL serial communications that needs to be converted to RS232. The cable converts 0v & 5v(3.3v) nominal TTL signal to –12v & 12v RS232 serial signal. This cable require 3.3V to 5V power from the TTL side to operate

it looks like it will, but i bought some off ebay once that 'should' have worked according to their description, but didn't. the guy was cool and refunded my money, but still, it was a waste of time. didn't you buy a cable from me with your ecu?

Re: Will this cable work for datalogging?
 

LoL, you are mistaken... i sold you an ecu! Never bought from you!
I'm going to check the local radio shack to se if i can find a nokia usb...
Thanks for your input

I am going to test a Nokia datacable that I can get from work also (we use two kinds, one of them is bound to work). If it does.. I'll smuggle a couple out and and pass 'em out.
