Electrical – DB25M to DB26M pinout

connectorpinout

I am trying to connect a DB25 male cable to a DB26 male receptable.

Seems that there are no out of the box adapters available for this, so will have to solder my own.

Having trouble and a lot of confusion on how to make the correct connections, so that's why I'm basically looking for a correct wiring diagram. (seeing some weird diagrams with crossing cables etc on a google search).

Some additional context:

I am currently building the open source https://opensfx.com/ project

This means that I have no possiblity to change the plugs / receptables on both the arduino and the servo motors, they come as-is.

Normally, the servo controllers come with a DB25 connector and simply connecting with a DB25 male to DB25 male cable is enough. However, my servo controller currently has a DB26 connector, hence it is incompatible with what I would like to achieve. I have seen forum posts that people were able to connect the DB26 to their breakout board though, but they didn't specify how.

It should simply be a matter of adapting a DB25M to DB25M cable towards a DB25M to DB26 cable by attaching the correct pins.

Pinouts:

I am using the Mige MG-DS100S-75 servo controller for the Mige 90ST-M02430 servo motor. (link to manual), however the most important part is the pinout in the following picture

note: I am not using the default breakout connectors in the pictures, I am using the open source breakout board created by Pyroneus, however this is just a PCB version of all the wiring displayed in the wiring diagram, therefore you can see this breakout board as a simplification

I would suggest a DB25 connector where a 26-conductor ribbon cable is crimped onto the back, and then the board end you crimp on a 2x13 female connector and plug in onto male pins.
