Two LCD's and one DB9 (Female) to DB9 (Female) cable ordered up

Well the cables have arrived
First job, cut it in half and meter the pins out?

Yup.
You are looking for wires connected to
pin 5 = common
pic 2 = data to PC
pin 3 = data from PC
The others you will not need for awhile, flow control type stuff.

The female connector starts with 1 on the right.
