DB9 to USB converter? - Click HERE for Original Thread

anschutz_93
As in title I need one that doesn't suck cock. I'm trying to log with my LC-1 and SSI-4 (rpm and other readings) and the connection keeps cutting out. Right now I'm using some POS nexxtech from The Source, worked just fine for over an hour on Thursday... cut out thursday night, worked for a couple seconds today then keeps cut out....
I've also checked Staples which doesn't have anything. I need something by tomorrow so I can pull the sensor out. What are you guys using and where can I buy it?

Keyspan. Its pricey, but its the only one i've found to really work. Can get it from memory express on the SS.

Guess I will be going there tomorrow. This time I will bring my car and test it the parking lot. Innovate Motorsports is retarded... dm9 is outdated and modern laptops don't have the port, why wouldn't they just use usb.

DSMlink uses DB9 aswell.

I use Dynex that I bought at bestbuy. I think www.monoprice.com sells one too.

I'm going to hit up memory express tomorrow after work and try progressively more expensive ones until I find one which works. The weird thing is the one I have works just fine sometimes, but its intermittent. I'm going to try putting diaretic grease on all connections tomorrow at work.

I use the dynex as well.

You may need to play with the port settings on it.

Turns out the problem wasn't my cable, its my laptop has non-functional usb ports... nothing works now.
