My monitor on my Fadal is getting dim and I'd like to replace it with an LED monitor. I did buy a monitor that has a BNC connector, but found out my monitor is VGA.
The new monitor has VGA inputs and I believe can be used with my VGA circuit board on the mill. But there isn't an available adapter cable available. The connector on the VGA pis is a 6 pin molex. Two things I need to do, get a molex connector with pigtails in it, and figure out what pins go to what on the VGA cable. On the Fadal FB group someone suggested just swapping the wires until I get a picture. I don't think that's such a good idea. The VGA board is part of my front panel circuit board and I really don't want to spend $1500 for a new board if I fry it and the majic smoke is released.
So, is there a way to determine what type of output the VGA pins have in order to adapt them to a 15 pic VGA connector?
This connector is in the monitor board from the VGA output.
