Yeah I am in the process of finalizing the cable. I am making it simpler too. I hate having a lot of long cables coming out of one plug. Either I make a breakout box. or drill into the DB15 connector and put in smaller connectors like how Pfeiffer Vacuum does it on their TC110 controller. (See attached pic)
And yes I will post about it soon. I think I will need help on the TFOV as well. Because it does boot up and I found the RS232 pinout. However I have no way of communicating with it. Unless I know what the commands are like on the DFOV 75/250mm.
The board on the lens contains a few A/D converters, RS232 MAX3221 Chip, a MCU with an associated 24C04 EEPROM. Wondering do I just dump the firmware to my computer and try to reverse engineer it.
