Is the DE-5000 software useful?
markce:
My DIY of this interface. Works on WinXP.

I don't have a 3D printer so I made a simpler version.
The photo transistor is supported by a neoprene foam pad identical to the one that comes with the DE-5000.

Needed to add a 470 ohm pull up resistor on the Rx input of the serial to USB converter (FTDI based in this case but my CP2102 also needed one). The photo transistor acts as a pull down.
Works great. Some photos are below.

Thanks all for your answers. I'll try with the 470R pull-up resistor.
Calambres:
Still not working! :-\
- I established connection with the UART via PUTTY: linked TX and RX and got readings. Put LOCAL ECHO ON and got double keystrokes, as expected...
- I added a 470R pullup resistor between 3.3V and RX
- Removed the DE-6000 SW and installed the DE-5000 SW from VA's link. I would swear they're the same!
- Still get readings with the scope when measuring across the phototransistor.
... but no reading in the SW screen. Dunno what else to do! |O
Calambres:
Tried with another computer, this time WIN-XP. Still no success |O
