Something like this https://www.viewpointusa.com/product/breakout-boards/15-pin-breakout-interface/ but for a few dollars, not $95 There are cheap versions for DB25 but I'm having trouble finding a DB15 flavor. Any ideas? -- Art Z. -- https://CheerfulCurmudgeon.com/ *"We do not see the world as it is.

Get a breadboard and build your own B.O.B.. You should be able to find all the parts for $35. And... Once you are done with that project you will have the ability to build more and different projects. Good breadboards have a Power Strip so hookups are even easier. https://www.domirobot.com/matsuhama-birlesik-breadboard-1700-pin-pmu392 Barry On Mon, Aug 20, 2018 at 8:33 AM Art Zemon wrote: > Folks, > > I have an RS232 problem between my EFIS and my nav/comm radios and I am > looking for a DB15 breakout box / tester box.

Here's one cheap-n-dirty approach https://goo.gl/GBSRVo If you're in a big hurry and have access to solder cup connectors, you can hard-wire one in about 20 minutes with a bit of 22aWG wire and a soldering iron. Let me dig around in the junk box . . . I may have one already built up . . . which you can have it it exists.

Here's the parts in state-side stock. https://goo.gl/i31NnY https://goo.gl/4k3MMi I can send you a chunk of .05" pitch ribbon cable if you don't have any.

DB25 breakouts are like $4-6 and readily available. I was hoping to find a DB15 and save myself some time. I guess I'll have to make one :-) Cheers, -- Art Z.
