WTB: Suunto USB cable for Vytec

[subsur]

I just purchased a Gekko computer and would like to buy a USB cable (the same one that is good for Vytec and Vyper). Willing to pay $40 or less so offers higher than $50 are pointless. I'd love to make myown (thanks to published circuits) cable but don't have time for it, unfortunately.

Where do you find the info on making one???

there were several discussions on scubaboard with external links.
check the following link:

that's how to make a serial port cable.
USB diagram can be found through the following link

here is what you asked for:

I bought one like this on ebay, it's just above your limit of $50 ($52 including shipping) so hopefully not too pointless : http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=220158743063

Works fine, and the build quality is very professional.

do you by any chance use MAC? thanks for the link. i saw this one. i might go with that. the only other option is to buy one from england for 30 pounds which is more expensive that ebay one.

No, I use Windows XP... and I believe it only comes with Windows drivers, not Mac.

Did you manage to get a cable for the Gekko? Do you use Mac as well? If so, what/where/how etc etc. I'm looking for a cable for my Vyper to ul to a Mac. Thanks.
