I was just wondering if anyone has used these DB25 Breakout Boards to connect their control panels: http://cgi.ebay.com/DB25-Female-Signals-Breakout-Board-parallel-port_W0QQitemZ380140745221QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item5882277205&_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116 I saw them mentioned in another thread, but I was curious if anyone had used them. I have two boards that are swappable, and this looks like a good way to make them modular (the method I use now is tedious). Question on the board itself: I see that there is a GND input terminal... would I need to use that at all? It doesn't go to any of the 25 outputs. Just wondering. |

I looked at these and thought about it, and then just ended up buying a prebuilt cable, cutting an end off, and connecting them together to be modular. |

I've bought quite a few, but haven't been able to work on my new panel yet, so they are still in the box. I will say that they were packed well and look okay... |

I just bought 3 of these for my 3-sided cocktail project via Ebay (12 bucks each). I'll be using these for my stick, button and ground signals to an IPAC4. Kinda nifty that they have both male and female DB25 connectors, which will on the one hand let me use whatever spare cables I have laying around, and will also allow me to [easily] play around with discrete and cloned controls once the cab's up and running. I'll have an additional CAT-5 cable (or two) with RJ45 connector per panel running the optical devices and any other inputs I need. Hopefully these will help me keep everything neat, organized and tidy! |
