The Rx and Tx are usually the one that goes wrong, so if it doesn't communicate (recognised) the first time then swap the Rxd Txd.

CTS (Clear to Send) and RTS(Ready to Send) are not used in EQMOD.
Thanks Malcolm.
I'm wondering now whether I actually need the VCC/VPP at all - the EQMOD documentation seems to suggest that only GND, RX and TX are needed.

http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net/tutindex.html - scroll down a bit to about mid-page where they talk about the FTDI cable.

Any thoughts?

Peter
