How is the D9 numbered?
For wiring up a phono jack to the RJ12 plug it doesn't really matter, but this image shows the pin numbers on the plug:Originally Posted by Kevin Doe

The pins 6 to 9 that you can't see are numbered: 6 on the right to 9 on the left.

Looks like you updated your original post with pin locations on the phono jack. Thanks!!Originally Posted by Blacky

I read it right here on the forums. I must have caught it immediately after you posted it then. I'm like white lightning.Originally Posted by Blacky
That is what i did with the efilive cable i made... it has the pins inverted already. so it should owrk like a charm.. hence the swapping 2-3.Originally Posted by Blacky

Excuse my ignorance, but is the mono 3.5mm jack on the plx controllers a std serial stream? If so this would also apply to them if im not mistaken?

RJ12 pin 5 to phono base.
RJ12 pin 2 to phono middle.
RJ12 pin 1 to phono tip.
I verified this buy lookin at the supplied RJ12 to RS232 end. Only RJ12 pins 1,2, and 5 are used. I think you just got the order mixed up.
Here is how I tested it out. I used the supplied cable from the EFI live, the supplied cable from the LC-1. Here was my logic.
RJ12 RS232 RS232 Phono
pin 1 pin 2 pin 2 middle
pin 2 pin 3 pin 3 tip
pin 5 pin 5 pin 5 base
Swap pins 2 and 3 between the RS232s and you end up with
RJ12 Phono
pin 1 tip
pin 2 middle
pin 5 base
Can you please confirm my suspicisous are right. I want to make sure I'm not overlooking something.
You're right, I got the pins mixed up on the RJ12.Originally Posted by Kevin Doe
They are "officially" numbered 1 to 6 from left to right - when looking at the exposed pins in the plug and holding the plug pins facing up.
See image.

Ok, now its clear. I found a source that showed the opposite. Either way, I'll just make sure they're in the right location regardless of number. Fantastic illustration!
