Hey,
First... thanks to TROZ for pioneering this whole get-up so I can play with Tingle...
Second... curses to TROZ for making me relive the hell that was shop class, and cementing my position in this world as a white-collar worker...
After recently getting my hands on a Micro, I was frustrated that I couldn't just go out and grab a cable or adapter to hook them up, especially since I live in the land of Nintendo. So for those who were wondering, there's nothing available on the Japanese market to solve this problem either.
Finding this thread was a stroke of luck... but I came too late for the big sell off, and since I had ready availability of the components, I thought I'd have a crack at it myself.
I picked up a cheap micro link-cable (cyber-gadget, 730 yen frm Bic Camera, Japan), dug out the cable that came with the 4-swords pack and got
a soldering iron from the local 100 yen store.
I dissected the link cable (only 4 wires, strange) and figured out which pin connected to which wire. Then I got too excited and rushed into things and sliced the GBA/GC cable thinking I'd be able to do a patch job like with the Nyko cable... not the case.
Based on a previous post from Troz, the micro pins are set up as such
1=5V OR Gnd
2=3.3V
3=Serial out
4=Serial in
5=Serial data
6=Serial clock
7=Ground
8=5V OR Ground
My link cable seems to have wires for pins 3-6. Easy enough. My only question now is can I just connect these to the GBA/GC cable wires? And if so, which wires connect to which?
In the GBA/GC cable I have a red wire, blue wire, yellow wire and an unshielded wire. Can anyone tell me which wires belong to which pins? Can I do this by connecting wires directly? Or should I have left the little circuit board on?
Sorry for being such a numpty. I'll leave it to the professionals next time!!
