The VCC doesn't matter since you aren't using that pin (Don't connect the VCC. Really. Don't do it!).

Hey there so both my EZBs are connected via the TTL converter. I know the chimes are gone with this set up, but I still get a flashy blue light when connected to either EZB. Is this the way they are going to be? It would be nice to have a solid blue light to signify that i am connected.
