What should I do if my Polaris RXL does not work?
The PROLIFIC version of the interface did not work for me, I have a version with the FTDI chip on the way. Make sure that it is a FTDI chip and has TTL level signaling. Digikey has them for about $20 for a self contained smart cable. If you have a fuel problem, go to the auto parts store and get a cheap universal ‘Noid’ Light.
