USB to Serial adapter

[John Gutmann]

does any one use a USB to Serial adapter to program their robot? If so please tell me what kind you use so i know what type to use that will work

I have one of these (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=542934&CatId=464), and it works fine.

There are several other threads on this topic; you'll find more information if you use the search (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/search.php?).

Based off of that I got it and it's worked like a charm....

I just bought one on eBay for $1 (with $10 shipping).
