Re: Serial Converter
Sorry for the late reply.
Wiring like that is the worst thing to do. You are going to have connection errors that will result in control glitches.
You rather should solder the wires or use jumper cables like in the tutorial from McKack.
Congrats for your little boy!

Re: Serial Converter
I think you have to invert the red and orange wires.
Did you install the serial converter drivers?
It is mandatory, even if windows seems to handle the device properly.
If it still does not work, you should consider buying a new serial converter, preferably the same as shown in the tutorials.
