Hello can anyone give me a lead to order the correct FTDI cable for connecting the stepper controller to the usb port on a Flex 6700. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Or this, which is the same thing but from Digi-Key:

Caution - a lot of them are counterfeit on Amazon.
If that one definitely works in your own experience then it is good. Otherwise, not. FTDI had put out a driver update a few years ago that disabled the fakes.0 -
It's not, I have two working on the Flex as we speak. On for the SteppIR and one for the SPE amp, but then again I suffer from delusions of adequacy so...0

Want to add to this thread as I am in the process of doing this. Dont forget to get a gender changer. The above links are male serial connections and so is the SteppIR. So wont mate up without additional hardware
