LIGHTNING SERIAL PRODUCT FAQ
Q: What are the differences between the L2-DB9V and the L2-DB9V3?
A: The L2-DB9V began shipping in 2014. The L2-DB9V3 replaced the L2-DB9V and began shipping in November 2018. It uses a new generation of Lightning connector and uses a new generation of Apple API to communicate with the iOS device. The Redpark serial SDK is the same for both cables — however the RxForwardCount and RxForwardTimeout functions are deprecated when using the L2-DB9V3.
Q: What kinds of devices have serial ports these days?
A: Ham radios, dive computers, point of sale devices, Arduino and other micro-controller platforms, scientific instrumentation, data loggers, RFID readers, automobile engines, routers and other networking devices, glucose meters, fire alarm panels, irrigation controllers, weather stations, specialty printers, scales, temperature sensors, flight loggers, satellite radios, model cars (models boats, planes and rockets too), CNC machines and more…
Q: What version of iOS is required?
A: The L2-DB9V3 requires iOS 11.0.x or later.
Q: Is there a way to connect to devices using TTL (logc level)?
A: Yes, by connecting an external RS-232 to TTL adapter to the DB-9 connector on our cable.
Q: Can I power the iOS device using this cable?
A: No.
Please use our Serial+Power Adapter (L4-SERP) instead.
Q: Can I power the serial device using this cable?
A: Power is not supplied through an RS232 connection. Some very low power devices make use of the RS232 signal lines to supply power. This usage of the RS232 connection is outside of the RS232 specification and may not work in every instance. It is left up to the user to determine if the RS232 output signals will supply enough power for a particular application.
Currently, the L2-DB9V uses a MAX3243 or similar driver to convert logic level signals to RS232 level signals. The specifications for the MAX3243 may be used as a rough guide to determine if the signal levels are appropriate for your application. Redpark reserves the right to change the RS232 driver circuitry at any time.
Q: What apps does this cable work with?
A: The cable and SDK are provided to you so that you may write your own apps.
Q: Does the cable work with apps available at the App Store?
A: Not at this time.
This will depend upon Apple policy.
Q: How can I tell if my iOS device recognizes the cable?
A: Open the “Settings” app on your iOS device. Select “General”, then “About”. If the Serial Cable is connected properly, it will appear in the list shown.
Q: How do I know what version of firmware the cable is using?
A: Once you have located the Serial Cable in the “Settings” App, select the Serial Cable to view its parameters.
Q: What are the pinouts of the DB-9 connector?
A: This is provided in the SDK User Guide.
Lightning Cables and Adapters
See below our Lightning cables and adapters.
The picture is of the Lightning receptacle and cable.
«Lightning» is the new name given by Apple to the 8-pin connector on the iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPad 4, iPad Mini, iPod touch 5th generation and iPod nano 7th generation. The Lightning connector is a lot smaller than the 30-pin connector on prior versions of the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.
The cable that connects to the Lightning connector does not really have eight «pins» but eight «contacts» on both sides of the connector and it will no longer matter how you insert the Lightning cables, Apples calls this feature «reversible.» This, hopefully, is big plus — I know that I inserted the 30-pin cable incorrectly on my iPhone 4 and then I had to spend 80 dollars to have the iPhone fixed; it’s never been the same!
The Lightning connector is used to sync and charge your iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPad 4, iPad Mini, iPod touch 5th generation and iPod nano 7th generation. When you purchased your phone a «Lightning to USB» cable may have been included in the box; the Lightning to USB cable is used to charge and sync your phone.
The Lightning connector can also be used to output video using the Lightning to HDMI and Lightning to VGA adapters.
I suppose a marketing committee at Apple gave this 8-pin connector the name «Lightning» to try to put it in the same family as the Thunderbolt™ Technology.
It is interesting to note that Apple does not appear to have gotten a trademark on the word «Lightning.» The word «lightning» is supposed to give you the impression that it is fast, but do not be fooled, it is based on USB 2.0 specifications and thus the data-transfer rates are a lot slower than the USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt™ specifications. This, of course, is a limitation based on the hardware on the iPhone 5 since it does not incorporate Thunderbolt™ technology. I suppose we have to wait for the iPhone 6 or 7 to get Thuderbolt™ technology and have faster transfer speeds; though I am not sure if the Thunderbolt™ connector also supports charging. Most people will probably not need the faster transfer speed. For now, iPhone 6 and iPhone 5 users will just have to continue to transfer their data at USB 2.0 speed.
Note that cables or adapters that have a Micro-USB, Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt or other connector that is not a «Lightning» connector will not work with your iPhone 6, iPhone 5, iPod touch 5th generation or iPod nano 7th generation.
What cables and adapters are included with the iPhone 5?
— The Lightning to USB cable. This cable is used to charge and sync your iPhone when connected to the USB port of your computer.
— Apple EarPods with Remote and Mic
— USB Power Adapter. This adapter is used with the Lightning to USB cable to charge your phone without having to connect it to the USB port of your computer.

Carl Zeiss Cinemizer OLED — HDMI 3D video glasses with iPhone/iPod support.
News, articles and reviews from iCover.ru
Today, we got a very interesting device for the test, which until recently could be classified as science fiction. After all, only recently we learned about 3D TVs and special glasses for them. And today we can have such a TV right in the glasses. Yes, yes, we are talking about video glasses with support for 3D images. Imagine, you put on glasses…. and in front of your eyes is an image, like on a screen with a diagonal of 105 cm, which stands two meters from you. Fantasy turns into reality. Meet — Carl Zeiss Cinemizer OLED: 3D video glasses with HDMI and iPhone/iPod support from our «Video glasses and projectors» section.
The first thing I remembered when I saw the image of the glasses themselves on the packaging was Star Wars. I don’t know why, but it is.
Well, now let’s study together what kind of miracle from Carl Zeiss really is.
1. Packing and kit:
The box is quite original, although in black and white:
If you look closely at the top of the box, you can see that it opens like a curtain in a theater — to the sides the glasses themselves through a partially transparent cover,
which must be opened along the perforated lines
In addition to glasses and instructions, the rest of the set is in a case.
nine0007
As a result, we have: glasses
from one darling of which there is a cable, at the end of which there is a control unit with buttons, indicators and connectors. It also has a built-in battery.
Also, initially, an adapter for miniHDMI was fastened to the unit (the design is quite monolithic, you won’t immediately understand that it is disassembled). But, having understood the principle, the adapter can be easily removed.
Also included:
Pair of headphones with short cables with 2.5 jack (very reminiscent of Sennheiser) and interchangeable ear tips,
AV video cable (3.5 mm, 4-pin cinch) and USB-miniUSB cable for charging,
HDMI to miniHDMI adapter cable and screen cleaning wipes
Nose holder adapters and instruction manual
and a zippered case
Well, in principle, and the whole set. Let’s just say — it’s not even bad ….. but obviously something is missing, oh yes — but how to connect an iPhone or iPod? Here, the optionally supplied set 9 will come to our rescue.
0082 inemizer adapter kit for iPod and iPhone with 30-pin connector
iOS device compatibility chart:
Well, users of the rest of iOS devices can use adapters or 30-pin to HDMI Apple Digital AV Adapter (MD098ZM/A), or Lightning-HDMI Apple Lightning Digital AV Adapter (MD826ZM/A)
Well, now about what consists of inemizer adapter kit for iPod and iPhone:
It comes in a small cardboard box in the style of the glasses box itself
Inside bracket-shaped adapter from the video connector of the video glasses control unit to the 30-pin connector, plastic plate-overlay on the control unit, instructions
and 3 pieces of sticky oval plates to support the iPone/iPod case when connected.
The number and method of gluing them is indicated in the instructions0007
We attach the adapter to the main unit and put on the plate
Now we can use the iPhone or iPod.
This completes the description of the set and proceeds to study the video glasses.
2. Design features:
As already mentioned, the glasses look simply fantastic: outside is white high-quality glossy plastic, and inside is matte black.
The main part of the device is 2 small OLED screens with a resolution of 870 by 500 pixels in front of each of the eyes (recall — this corresponds to viewing a 40″ TV from a distance of 2m.) Aspect ratio 16:9, 24-bit RGB color depth, 30° field of view. HDMI: 640X480P 60HZ, 720x576P 50HZ, 720x480p 60HZ, 1280x720p 50/60HZ, 1920x1080i 50/60HZ, 1920x1080P 50/60HZ, 1920x1080p 24HZ, HDMI 1.4 3D 1080P 24 HZ, HDMI 1.4 3D 720P 60P 60HZ. Full support for 3D mode.
Next to the screens are focus controls (from -5 to +2 diopters). They are easy to use
The bridge of the nose is fitted with a very comfortable attachment made of pleasant to the touch silicone. You can change its location with the help of complete nozzles. nine0007
On the inner sides of the temples there are 2.5 jack connectors and recesses for headphones discomfort.
This is facilitated by low weight: 70g.
3. Connection of external devices and control:
All connectors for connection and controls are located on a special block. Video signal sources are connected either via a special video connector (via HDMI or 30-pin Apple adapters), or via a 3.5 «AV in» jack. To do this, use an AV cable or an HDMI-to-miniHDMI adapter cable. On the side of the cord there is an output for connecting headphones (if you do not want to use regular ones) and a recessed «Reset» button
On the side there is a miniUSB power connector, battery indicator, AV in input, normal mode/3D mode indicators, volume rocker and video control, power button.
The battery (Li-ion 5V 450 mA) is charged from the computer’s USB port. When charging starts, the indicator blinks red, then yellow and then green. As soon as the blinking stops and the indicator starts to glow green, charging is completed. The average charging time is 2.5 hours.
Battery life: when using HDMI — 2.5 hours, when connecting an iPhone / iPod and when working via AV in — 6 hours. nine0007
The volume is adjusted with the rocker (up/down), the transition to the video settings mode — pressing the rocker, switching between 2D / 3D modes — pressing and holding for more than 2 seconds. In 2D mode, the green indicator is on, in 3D, it is blue.
Power button works as usual — press and hold briefly.
4. Viewing and image quality:
Everything is quite simple here: connect the image source (in our case, the Dune HD Max media player with a built-in Blu-Ray drive and iPhone 4S) and turn on the video glasses. nine0007
If necessary, adjust the clarity and look. The quality of the picture in any case is very decent. In 3D mode, too, everything is very good. The stereo effect is very good. With the iPhone, the photo album slideshow mode works quietly.
The scope of Carl Zeiss Cinemizer OLED is quite wide: on the road (airplane or train, even the waiting room),
connection to game consoles or computer,
training,
including driving
video-photography
etc.
