Hi again Tom.
I got the FTDI cable from Sparkfun ;-)
Before giving my battle to it (w/o frying my Dj-X11 lol) I need you to specify one point.
When you say "..so I wired it up to a 3.5mm stereo connector I had around. Black wire to the sleeve, orange+yellow to ring".
Was your stereo connector a 3 poles one right?
I mean, was a TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) with nothing being connected to the tip ?
Sorry for bothering you again.
Cheers
Marco
