I bought my bixby model 115 in 2006 and have never upgraded the software. Can anyone give me the pinout on the db9 side of the connector. I found the software at bixby downloads and the stove side pinout on the wiki site. I'm sure i'll have more questions once i figure the cable out.

Contact Rona on this site-he should be able to help you since he makes them.

DB9 side is standard RS232 used by computers so you should be able to find it on the web. The stove side is NOT standard RS232 and you need an adapter or you will damage the stove. Levels there are TTL.

there is a problem with some of the cables, supplier has changed chip in cable

I have updated the WIKI at forum.iburncorn.com/wiki/index.php/BixbyFAQ#Cable per Mary's post, above. Thanks, Mary.

Thanks for the help so far, I did not understand what ttl was.

RS232 can have voltage swings positive and negative approaching 12 or more volts while TTL is a 5 volt system and the data only goes positive.

Thanks, Mary. WIKI has been updated accordingly at forum.iburncorn.com/wiki/index.php/BixbyFAQ#Cable .

If you take the cable in the link below and don't use the RTS & CTS wires and switch the connector to the 4 pin molex connector, should this work?
