DigiPos 12″ Touchscreen 26WAY D-Sub Pinout

Just found this lurking in drafts. It’s been a long-time since I wired this monitor up and am not able to check the pinout, right now, other than from a bit of paper I’ve found that I made notes on. Assuming the notes are correct, the monitor and touchscreen both worked for me, so here goes:

Clever Little Box Easy-Install VGA Cable

A while back I bought some old touch screen monitors, used on tills, but the connector was a 26-pin d-sub that needed to be split into VGA, serial and ps/2 connections (if you were wondering the ps/2 connection is for the optional magnetic strip reader). Anyway, this cable lets me use the monitor part…

First impressions of this cable were “wow, that’s a lot of cable” and to be honest 10m is rather more than I needed but it saved me from making one up myself and at less cost, considering the cheapest 12-core wire I could find on Farnell is £1.65 per metre where as this cable works out at £1.46 per metre.

The quality is excellent and feels pretty durable with its thickly moulded plug and heat-shrunk joints which, is rather a nice touch, I feel. The flex is also very flexible (as you can see below) whilst still reassuring you that its innards are safe, say, from a particularly vicious edge-of-desk or a ensnared panic-stricken colleague.
