hi, i´m looking for another prolific cable as it is packed in the NK. but i havent found the same one up to now.

1. where can i purchase that cable?
2. can i use that converter here instead? http://www.myavr.info/download/produkte/myusbtouart/techb_myusbtouart_de_en.pdf using a cp2102 -> datasheet link: http://www.ic-board.de/data/datasheet/CP2102.pdf

thanks for your replies

Buy it from the Nerdkit store!

It's good to support these guys.

the problem ist that i´m from germany, so got to pay a lot of taxes purchasing from the US.

Depending on which style programmer you have, you can make the PCB part of the programmer on your breadboard. I had a project that was in a box that I needed to reprogram frequently so I bought some of the ICs (part # CD74HCT14E) and built my own. Finding a female serial connector shouldn't be too tough either. You'll still need the USB to serial converter but they can be picked up at just about any computer store or online.

I am just curious how much tax would you pay on $9.99 (us)? Freight might double the cost also.

Also, though this will also cost you have you looked into using a ISP programmer?

They are $25.00 - $50.00 (us) but I am sure you could pick one up in Germany. There are also beta ISP programmers tat are free.

Building one would be fun especially if you could use the Prolific driver.
