My apologies in advance if this is only tangentially related to PICAXE...
I have a PICAXE project (in fact, it uses a pair of PICAXEs) that interfaces to a SEIKO timer. Unfortunately, the data port I'm interfacing with has a proprietary connector. I have searched high and low, far and wide, and cannot find anyone that carries this connector. I'm also thinking that it is so rare that if I did eventually find it, it would be prohibitively expensive.
So, I've resolved to the fact that I'll need to build my own. I'm wondering if anyone on this forum has any advice or can point me to any resources.
Basically, I'm thinking along the lines of creating a mold, sticking in some pins soldered to wires, and then injecting some kind of liquid plastic or resin that will harden.
Take a look at the attached for the connector I am trying to duplicate. Take a note of the standard DB9 which is also in the same picture to get a sense of scale. It is small, and the pins are fine-pitch.
