Garmin serial cable
Hi
I don’t know if you’d call it an issue, but I wish the Garmin external power/serial data cable worked with the 66.
It supports the 64 and Oregons, and several others, but even with mini to micro USB adapter, no go with the 66.
If there’s some request list, I’d appreciate it being added. I assume the hardware is there to support it.
Cheers, B.

Re: Garmin serial cable
Do you have the part number for the cable?

Re: Garmin serial cable
You must use a full 5 pin adapter. My selfmade works.

Re: Garmin serial cable
It doesn’t work is the point at least for the 66. It isn’t supposed to, but I’d like ti supported.
I thought the 66 wasn’t on the list of supported devices simply because it has micro USB connector,
but that’s not the case. Even with mini->micro USB adapter it doesn’t work.
For a compatible device (such as 64), you plug it in, power the GPSr from the cable.
set interfece in the System menu to NMEA, and away you go.
EDIT,,,
Having read the above reply, I’ll test continuity for all pins. I know power and data are connected.

Re: Garmin serial cable
Ok the outer sheath isn’t connected straight through on my adapter.
Will report back when it’s sorted.

Re: Garmin serial cable
This will be excellent information for the wiki when it is resolved!

Re: Garmin serial cable
I think now that gruen was talking about the extra pin for USB OTG, which the serial cable does have, and is connected.
The sheath should be connected too, but it would probably still work without it.
I “think” I’ve removed the potting without ruining it.
There’s nothing proprietary in the cable’s encapsulated PCB. It’s an Intersil serial transceiver, and step down regulator for the power supply.

Re: Garmin serial cable
The Serial Data/Power Cable 010-11131-00 have a 12k resistor between pin 4 and pin 5, almost other have a short connection.
The NMEA works only with this 12k resistor.

Can any body test RTCM?
