I just wanted to comment and voice my appreciation for the detailed guide for the one plug to rule them all. It was more than helpful for me!
Some things to report back:
I hope this helps some more people
Some things to report back:
- The plug on the KR C4 compact is indeed a Sub-D 50 plug (not the High-Density/HD version but the standard pitch). This allowed me to get a cheap standard connector with solder connections and make the necessary bridges as outlined above
- I was not aware that the pins are counted from the "backside" on those connectors. The more detailed PDF guide saved me there
- The screws next to the connector are not M3, but seem to follow the standard and use UNC 4-40. Using screws from a VGA or DVI connector seem to work fine
- Even with the connector installed and everything turning green, I could not move the robot in T1. After some more research, I found that there is an additional MOVE_ENABLE flag on the controller. My robot came from industry where it had an external controller attached to it which also enabled the movements. But since the controller is missing now, it would not budge until that flag was changed.
I hope this helps some more people
