hmmm so what problem are you having with it? do you mean you cant find those metal pins (male headers) to use?

Yes...I am not able to get the male headers near my region....
i hav got a circuit to take connections from a 10 pin header to a serial port...
So can i use the serial port along with this circuit in place of the header??
