Hello,

I want to know if is possible to connect the FOSS-JTAG serial PORT to the telemetry port of the CC main board. In oder words, I want to know if is needed to use a USB to serial converter and a transmiter like PipXtreme to use telemetry port or if I can use the FOSS-JTAG.

When I connect the FOSS-JTAG to my computer, that shows two COM ports. Then, I want to know

• Wwhat is is the COM port that appears in my computer that I must use like serial port?
• Is this serial PORT configured whith the baudrate specified in the GCS? (my GCS say 57600).
• Can I control the CC with the telemtry port or it is only for receive data in the GCS?

There are two ports with the FOSS-JTAG as you have noticed, one is the JTAG but the other is the serial port on the side, think of that port like a normal FTDI USB to serial port, well, basically because that is exactly what it is.

It is the 2nd port that is a normal serial port.

The telemetry in the GCS is two way, you can do everything over serial that you can over USB.

But when I try to connect my CC mainboard with the GCS using the FOSS-JTAG, it is imposible. In the GCS appears like if it is transmiting but not receiving data from the main board. (I have set the telemetry port in GCS with 57600 Baudrate).

• Do I need to cross the tx and rx cable to use the FOSS-JTAG?
• Do I need power up the CC before conect FOSS-JTAG to the computer?
• Do I need connect CC usb cable adn FOSS-JTAG usb Cable?

Yeap Sorry should have mentioned that.

Swap the blue and orange on one end of the cable only.
