Buy Communication Cable for Universal Remote Controls from http://www.easymg.com or http://www.diygadget.com


Parts List

  1. 4 feet of flat ribbon cable
  2. DB25 Housing with Grommet, scews and wire holders
  3. DB25 connector
  4. 1.0k resistor X 2 (necessary for Kameleon and other remotes)
  5. 1N5818 schottky diode works for both desktops and laptops
  6. 6 pin female IDC connector to fit your remote (with strain relief)
  7. 6 pin male header
    Parts List

Let's make it

  1. Familiar with all the components.
    Parts
  2. Put few melted solder into the cup 2, 3, 4, 11, 18 and 25 of the DB25 male connector as shown in picture.

  3. Put few melted solder into the cup 2, 3, 4, 11, 18 and 25 of the DB25 male connector as shown in picture.
    Imgfeed 033.jpg
  4. Locate two 1K resistors and IN5818 diode. Pay attention to the solid bar on the diode. Cut down two resistors as shown in the photo, also bend the diode into shape to fit between pin 2 and 11 of the male DB25 connector (about 1 inch). Cut the terminals of diode to a proper size as shown in the photo.
    Imgfeed 019.jpg
  5. Solder two resistors on the pin 3 and 4 of the DB25 connector.
    Imgfeed 003.jpg
  6. Solder the diode between pin 2 and 11 of the DB25 connector. The solid bar on the diode should be colsest to cup 2. Cut the supplied wire into two pieces. Use one piece to make a connection between pin 25 and 18 of the DB25 connector.

  7. Strip the robbin cable.
    Imgfeed.jpg
  8. Put few melted solder onto the bare wires.
    Imgfeed 010.jpg
  9. Put few melted solder onto two resistors.
    Imgfeed 027.jpg
  10. Put the heat shrink tube on line 1 and 2 of the robbin cable.
    Imgfeed 030.jpg
  11. Solder line 1 and 2 onto resistors. Line 1 is connected to pin 3 of DB25 connector via a resistor. Line 2 is connected to pin 4 of the DB25 connector via a resistor. When soldering, put the heat shrink tube far away form the soldering point, otherwise the tube will shrink
    Imgfeed 014.jpg
  12. Wait untill soldering points are cold. Pull the heat shrink tube up to the pins to prevent short circuit.
    Imgfeed 028.jpg
  13. Solder line 3 onto pin 11 of the DB25 connector.
    Imgfeed 012.jpg
  14. Solder line 4 onto pin 25 of DB25 connector.
    Imgfeed 034.jpg
  15. Soldering is completed.
    Imgfeed 017.jpg
  16. Bend another piece of the wire as shown in the picture.
    Imgfeed 032.jpg
  17. Align wires on the IDC connector. Make sure line 1 is facing outside, and line 4 is facing inside. Line 4 should be closest to the bended wire (red wire in the picture).
    Imgfeed 016.jpg
  18. Align wires on the IDC connector. Make sure line 1 is facing outside, and line 4 is facing inside. Line 4 should be closest to the bended wire (red wire in the picture).
    Imgfeed 023.jpg
  19. Squeeze two halves of the IDC connector together until both retainer loops snap over the ribs and lie flat against the sides.
    Imgfeed 006.jpg
  20. Squeeze two halves of the IDC connector together until both retainer loops snap over the ribs and lie flat against the sides.
    Imgfeed 008.jpg
  21. Cut the wires outside of the IDC connector.
    Imgfeed 026.jpg
  22. Cut the wires outside of the IDC connector.
    Imgfeed 007.jpg
  23. After cutting.
    Imgfeed 024.jpg
  24. Put the strain relief onto the IDC connector. Squeeze the strain relief and the IDC connector.
    Imgfeed 013.jpg
  25. Prepare the sockets and wire holders as shown in the picture.
    Imgfeed 031.jpg
  26. Take the two wire holders and clamp them onto the cable.
    Imgfeed 011.jpg
  27. Take the two wire holders and clamp them onto the cable.
    Imgfeed 029.jpg
  28. Put the DB25 connector into one half of the DB shell.
    Imgfeed 002.jpg
  29. Before closing up the DB25 shell, take the two screws that have a ridge in the middle and insert them into the two square shaped washers, then position these two screws into the holes on the either side of the DB25 shell.

  30. Before closing up the DB25 shell, take the two screws that have a ridge in the middle and insert them into the two square shaped washers, then position these two screws into the holes on the either side of the DB25 shell.
    Imgfeed 022.jpg
  31. Close up the DB25 shell.
    Imgfeed 005.jpg
  32. Side view.
