wanted 1760-USB-PICO cable

Does anyone have the  1760-USB-PICO cable for sale or loan? I have a program I need to download off a PICO and no cable that works.

Thanks...

Sorry for necroposting, but I am just beginning to dabble with using a Pico and came across your question.  Perhaps someone else might be in the same boat and needs a cable.  The programming port uses TTL transmit and receive signal levels, and a plain vanilla (no MAX232 device) USB converter for less than ten bucks works just fine.  If you want to get fancy, use a 1.27 mm pitch header plug for the three wires.

The USB converter cable I used has the PL2303HX chip built into it, and has the following signals:

     Black wire -- GND

     White wire -- RXD

     Green wire -- TXD

Note: the Red wire is +5 volts, but leave it unconnected.
