  5. More elegant solution

    The female end of a molex extension such as that used for processor fans (ADAPTER 3/3 30CM at Reichelt) will nicely fit on the WGT's connector and the individual wires can be fed through the ventilation holes onto the outside. This enables access to the serial port while the WGT's case is closed. You need two such extension cords, or rather: two female ends and one male end. One female end goes onto the WGT, one male end is dangling outside the WGT and one female end is connected to the serial cable.

    By pure coincidence said molex connector fits almost exactly into the available space (with about a millimeter of room left).

    1. Cut each molex cable in two.
    2. Put one female end onto the serial connector in the WGT. There are only three signals in the cable (while the serial connector has four) but you'll only need TX, RX and GND anyways. Hint: in order to enhance interoperability use the black wire for GND.
    3. Thread the wires through the WGT's ventilation holes on the upper side. Make sure you choose the right holes, so that you can close the case without bending the port or the connector:

    4. Reconnect one male end to the cable (maybe shorten it a little), and close the WGT.

    5. Connect the remaining female end similar to the other instructions above:

    No you can connect and disconnect the serial cable to your WGT at will, without opening it. And if need be you can undo all your modifications, because the hardware or case has not been changed.
    Bonus: The serial cable itself will fit an unmodified WGT (with open case, of course).
