Cables needed for system side:
| Type | Device 1 | Device 2 |
|---|---|---|
| XT | DIN5 (180) M-to-M | Straight-wired DB9 F-to-F |
| PS/2 (AT) | Mini-DIN6 M-to-M | Mini-DIN6 M-to-M |

| ADB (Mac) | Mini-DIN4 M-to-M | (Only one needed) |
| Victor 9000 | RJ45 / Cat5 Cable | Straight-wired DB9 F-to-F |
Usage:
- Plugs work on either side.
- Plug the devices / system into the plugs first - then into the HID Twister base.
- System = connects to the computer.
- Device = connects to the device(s).
- You may need jumper cable(s) to connect the system side.
- EG: For PS/2 you'll need male-to-male Mini-Din 6 cable(s) for Keyboard / Mouse.
Updating firmware:
- Reboot the board into bootloader mode:
- Hold the recessed B button.
- Attach (via USB-C cable) it to a PC.
- Release the button.
- It should show up as a drive like a USB Flash module.
- Copy the UF2 firmware file to the drive.
- The drive will disappear once it's flashed.
Config interface:
- There is a config interface via the USB-C connection.
- It shows up as a serial port (Windows: COMx Linux: ttyACMx)
- Connect with a good terminal app at 115200 baud
- I use tio for this (Win: tio-3.9-win.zip)
- help for command list.
- Not fully documented or tested yet, use at your own risk :)
