Could someone attach the serial port on the DNS-323 hardware revision C1 ?
I couldn't found the connector on the board.
In another HW revision (I don't remember which), there is a header in the middle of the board where I could connect a TTL - Rs232 converter. The procedure to do this is in the DNS-323 wiki.
I couldn't found how to do the same with this hardware revision.

Here there are some pictures of the board.
thanks

Another picture.

One of the underside would be nice.
There are two sets of pads in the front right corner - the large is 2x5, the smaller is 1x4 and might be the one you're looking for - lay the board on an insulated surface, power it up and check the voltage on the pins, see if you can locate which is ground & +3.3V

hi,
I got also a C1 revision and try to connect via a serial port. I bought a simple multimeter and gauged.
Black connector = COM
Red Connector = V
I gauge the following http://img192.yfrog.com/i/cimg0004c.jpg/ :
RED on A
A + B = 3,25v
A + D = 0
A + F = 0
A + H = 3,25
A + J = 3,25
If black on A, I have the same results, but with "-3,25" (minus/negative)
Red on 1
1 + 2 = 0
1 + 3 = 0
1 + 4 = 3,3
So, where can i found the ground? Is that 1 and A?

Hi,
I have successfully attached a serial console to my rev. C1. The pinout is the same as with the older revisions. See: http://dns323.kood.org/hardware:serial Indeed the serial port is the group of 4 aligned pads and it turns out that the numbering on the picture you attached is correct since as usual the square pad is pin #1 so to sum up it goes like this:
Pin#
1 Vcc (3.3V) square pad
2 serial data out from DNS-323 next round pad
3 serial data in to DNS-323 next round pad
4 GND next round pad
Connection parameters are the same as with the other revisions: 115200 8,N,1
Remember that it uses 3.3V logic so do not attempt to use a 5V serial adapter! I have found a nice 3.3V adapter on eBay that fits into a DB-9 connector, you can attach anything you like to it. I have used RJ-11 to interface to the DNS-323 as it uses precisely 4 wires.
The 2x5 pad group next to it is for the JTAG connection. I suppose it is also the same pinout as with older revisions.
I hope this helps!
Best regards.
