The basic problem were trying to solve is certain secondary device's cables gets left unplugged and we need a way to detect a cable that is plugged into my device,and check if that cable is actually plugged into a secondary device and not hanging around unplugged.
I have a cable with 5 pins on both ends that are plugable i have 2 pins that are not used in the connector's and 1 pin is ground,and the other 2 pins are rs485 signal pins.My device has a mcu,and ports on the pcb that one end of the cables connector will plug into,i dont have access to the other end of what the cable will plug into.what i need to be able to detect is
