[psprigs 0]

Hi, i bought this joystick and it doesnt have a make or model number, nor any instructions, i have the power side fine, just not the rj45 sockets and 9 way...

 

there should be 2 pics below.

 

Thanks

it will be the out socket [rj45] only 2 pins are needed for PTZ [+and-] data

 

There will be something like 5v on the TX data when you find it -move the stick you should see small voltage spikes -a CRO could be used.

Found a couple different hits on possibilities.

 

1: http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/cable/RS-232.html

Use pin 2 (TX+) and 3 (TX-)

 

2: http://www.w4rp.com/ref/pinouts_for_rj45_jacks.htm

Use pin 3 (TX+) and 4 (TX-).

 

3: http://www.xs4all.nl/~tcsprod/technics/rj45.htm

Several slight manufacturer-specific variations shown, but all use pins 3/4 for data TX (same as #2 above).

 

4: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/layer_1/cables/tech_rs232.htm

This one shows RJ45 pinouts as "RS232D" standard, using pins 6 (TX+) and 4 (TX-)

 

So there are a few different variations to try... as zmxtech suggests, a multimeter can help you narrow down the testing.
