[dorkbotpdx-blabber] GlobalScale Guru Plug!

[David Madden]

I just received a GlobalScale Guru Plug plug computer, which I plan to
use to replace my memory-lacking Seagate Dockstar. Yay! But I ordered
the "Standard" version, not realizing that it doesn't come with the
serial cable. Boo!

Does anybody have a Guru Plug interface cable I could borrow for a few
days? I expect I'll just need it long enough to get a reliable boot,
DHCP, and SSH connection going. (In fact, I think there's a pretty good
chance it'll boot up that way already, but if there's a cable out in
Dorkbot-land, I'd sure appreciate the backup...)

Thanks!

I don't have a guru plug specific one, but ... what does the connector
look like? I assume any old 3.3V serial would work if you can get on
the right pins.

I have one of the infamous overheaters you can borrow.

Uh oh...are you talking about the serial cable, or the GuruPlug itself?
I just want to put this in a closet with a USB disk and serve my DNS,
DHCP, web pages, CalDav, and so on...

But yeah, would like to borrow the cable.

Russ: there's a tiny 4-pin connector on the side, probably TTL RS232?

Yes, I've got this cable.

Yup, that's what I did, to both the plugs I have. You can borrow it as
long as you need.

I might not be able to make it to the meetup on the 13th, but I'm sure I
can get it to you sooner somehow it you need it.
