Diablo/PC hook up?

Where can I get a PC interface for a 2008 Mustang GT predator handheld?

All you need is a PC and a standard 9 pin serial cable. They sell them at Radio shack.

Here's what you need from Radio Shack to upload, download, and review data from Predator on your computer:

#2600183 USB to SERIAL CABLE
#2600117 6' 232 CABLE
#2731775 12V CABLE 911-9F
#2731716 ADAPTER PLUG-M

Or, DS p/n 7778 for power supply and USB to serial cable...

what is the 6" cable and adapter plug for? i was under the impression that all that was needed was the 9 pin to usb and the 12v power supply??

BTW why doesnt the usb to 9 pin have a power supply from the computer? my cell phones and ipods all get power to charge from the comp......is the predator not set up with power from the 9 pin?


also 1st post here....great site guys

not quite sure what that 6" cable is, but thats all you need is a 9 pin serial to usb adapter and a 12v 1a power supply. The Predator cannot receive power through the usb cable, thats where the 12v 1a cable comes in.

The Predator requires more juice than a USB port provides. The Trinity is designed with low-power parts and can be powered from a USB port.
