Serial Lead for PC to Tajima Neo TEJT C1501

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone has used a serial cable to attach their PC to Tajima Neo TEJT C1501?

I'm running Wilcom Studio 3 on my PC and use a USB to serial adapter. I would need a 9 pin female to 9 pin female serial cable to make a direct connection.

I can make a cable up but wonder if there's an 'off the shelf' cable solution?

Any comments appreciated.

Newegg, Best Buy, Monoprice, Tiger Firect and Amazon should have what you need. Just have to figure out which length you need. They go from 6ft all the up to 25ft

Thanks for the reply,

I was thinking the cable might have been a bespoke one, it seems not

I've ordered a 20' one.

Thanks

Well, I must be doing something stupid! I can't get the connection between my PC running Wilcom Studio 3 Elements and the Tajima Neo TJET2 embroidery machine!.

The serial settings are set in Wilcom - serial com6 & 19200 speed however, I don't know what other settings should be to get it to talk to the Tajima - stop bits 8? Flow hardware? etc etc.

There aren't many settings to be entered on the Tajima - just the speed 19200 and network on.

I' getting a RS232 Error on the Tajima!

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Flip the DSW1 and put the machine in it's maintenance mode and do a memory initialize and see if that changes anything.

Thanks for that, when I get home later, I'll try it
