Hi All,
I've struggled to find clear guide on how to make those terminators for the Cerbo V.E Can ports i'm using the Multi RS 2 tracker. I'm aware you can buy them pre-made which is the best option but for me to drive over 2 hours for the nearest dealer for a 16 dollar item.... you get the idea...
Be aware - make at own risk!!!!!!!!!!!!

REM Items needed to complete job

2x RJ45 Modular Plug Cat6 or 5x if you stuff it up
2x 0.25w 120r ohm resistors. ( NOT 2x 60ohm resistors.)
Item I purchased and worked well is 120r 0.25W 1% Metal Film Resistor
Credit to: Alex Pescaru for picking up the typo 120r ohm resistors.
Carefully run the pins of the resistors into ports 7 and 8 and them carefully crimp them using the crimping tool and double check it crimped fine and you can probably run a ohm meter over it to check it the pins are sitting correctly.
I had a few goes because the resistor legs somehow crossed over and were touching each other and one of the resistor legs were not in perfect contact with pin 7.
I'm sure some of you know how to do this but no one really shared it.
A question I was asked why I didn't use the ones that didn't come with it, I didn't get them as they forgot to include them when I brought it. I brought it second hand from the supplier that sold me the new RS Multi, which is bleedin awesome!!
Thanks
Dan
