Wrong RS232/USB ROVER 20A for MONITORING Sept 21, 2018 8:20:42 GMT

Hello, sorry for my english i'm french

I bought the OLD ROVER 20A and it works so good !

I'd like to connect my computer for Monitoring, but i'm still searching the Good wire, because the manuel says :

RS232 to USB and it is not the same port on the Rover (picture in email), it seems to be a RJ11 or RJ12 ..

I don't want to break my computer or the controller, can you help me ?

Thanks !

You could try wire up your own connector for RJ11 to DB9 like I did. After that you'll be able to plug it into a standard RS232 to USB cable.

On my controller I wired RX to TX and TX to RX like I was sure I was supposed to, but then it didn't work and I had to swap them, see the attached picture for the wiring.
