I need to check the settings on my o2 controller but all I have is my Innovate 4 pin Programming Cable that is a Serial Connection.... Why do these things even exist anymore?
Well I can see it's just a 4 pin connector with white,red,blue,black wires. Can't I just cut an old USB cable from something else and solder them together? I seriously doubt anyone local in my small town carries an adapter. I'd rather not put this off another week waiting on a part to ship to me.
Thank you.
Can I splice a USB to my LC2 Cable?

USB and RS232 are totally different protocols. Connecting them directly together will not work.
