This is the solution I use for the "Basic Stamp".
You will need a minimum of 3 conductors, RX TX and Gnd.

Hi,

I need to connect the device I'm developing to a PC using a serial port. Right now, on my development board I have a PCB DB9 female, that makes the PC connection using a standard DB9 male - DB9 female 1-to-1 cable.

The thing is my device is too small to have a PCB DB9 female, so I was thinking of other types of connection. I'm only using the Rx and Tx lines (do I need to have a cable with more than 2 wires?) so I was thinking of a smaller connector in the device (RJ11 for example) and providing a RJ11 male to DB9 female cable with my device, but I couldn't find such cable on mouser. Is this so out of the normal that I'll have to customize a cable for this application or do you know a manufacturer that makes such a cable (or one that uses similar small sized connector on one side of the cable)

TIA

Padu
