Enigma to Xcom760

Postby Rick524 » Sun Sep 09, 2012 9:20 pm

Does anyone here have a schematic for connecting an Enigma RS232 port to an Xcom760 radio RS232 port?

This is not from MGL or XCOM but its the only thing I can find that may be helpful. It is for a camera. Not even sure if they use the same standard for the 3.5 plug. Would be best to verify with the equip manufacturers before trying this.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the excellent diagram. It's exactly as the interface cable needs to be.
I setup my Enigma/Xcom on the bench this morning and tested it. It all works perfectly.
Here are the Enigma settings:
Menu level 2, system setup menu,next page, next page, serial port routing/allocations, RS232 port 1(internal):XCOM COMM radio.

You need to enable the serial interface on the XCOM radio. You can do this executing the following steps:
1. Switch the unit off by holding the ON button for 3 secs
2. Hold down the DUAL and MODE buttons and press ON
3. The unit should start and show the software version (Note the version)
4. Press the F/CH knob until RHEAD is shown
5. Turn the F/CH knob clockwise and the display should show ON
6. Press the FLIP/FLOP (double arrow) button
Once this is done the serial interface will be enabled and you can set frequency to the XCOM from your EFIS.
