Hi does anyone know what the pinout for the PFC commander is?
Is it similar to the PS2 pinout or is it a custom Apexi pinout?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS/2_connector

I would like to find out if it would be practical to be able to hot swap between 2 different commanders by simply switching between them with a PS2 “Y” splitter connector and a switch to toggle the ground.
While I could switch all pins, I think it would be much more practical if possible, to just switch the grounds for the respective commander.

Anyone have knowledge of the pinout and could lead me in the right direction.

Thanks

 

It is a PS/2 connector but only uses 5 pins http://www.banzai-racing.com/ps2_cab...all_how-to.htm

 

The platic tab is also different and has to be broken off. The idiots used a uncommon mini 5 Din plug when they should have used the 6.

 

Agreed, I did find the “correct” 5 pin din hardware at a local electronics warehouse, but supplies and availability of the exact parts I needed were very hard to come by.

So is the critical data, ground +5VDC, and clock the same on the commander itself?
Will I be able to just switch between pin “3 Ground” between the two different devices and have each work independently correctly?
