Ok.. I was able to pinout all my wires (stuck a paper clip down the sega controller end) but when I tied them into the OnDigital receiver it didn't work. I have 6 wires instead of the 5 that the PDF that was posted. I think thats my problem..

Just bought one, looks pretty handy, do you have to type at an angle so the IR lines up with the receiver?

If someone could help me out... My receiver came with 6 wires (the guide created only had 5 wires). I tied my 5 wires per the guide to the correct pins and I get nothing. I'm guessing because I have a 6 wire receiver that the pinouts will be different. How do I go about telling which wires go to which pins??

Thanks

Ignore the other wire, just take care of the 5 listed in the pdf.

Some apparently require power. Have you tried powering it?

I have tried it with power and without. I'm not sure it needs it because when I plug it into my serial port with serialwatcher running I get a "0". Then when I plug the power in I get another "0".

Thanks

I just thought of something... How do you count the pins? In other words... Is pin one to the left of the 5 pins? Like this:

1 2 3 4 5
. . . . .
6 7 8 9
. . . .

Well I think I may have figured out my problem.. I just looked at a serial cable I have laying around at work and the pins are as follows:

5 4 3 2 1
. . . . .
9 8 7 6
. . . .

Will try it tonight!

OK.. Update.. I got the receiver and remote to communicate w/ girder. I had the wiring backwards as stated above. I modded mine with a sega controller that Fusion suggested.

I have full keyboard function but NONE of the buttons on the top of the remote (the TV style buttons) work and I don't have the mouse control via the four arrows on the qwerty part. Any ideas of why this is? I know it was said that the tv style buttons need another receiver but I read that someone had most of the buttons working w/out one.

Any help would be great (especially for the mouse part).

Thanks!

EDIT - Oh yea.. And I didn't need to power it..
