Additionally, even though it is possible to convert from RS-422 to RS-232, the radio modems used for robot control will
only transmit data to the opposite modem in 26 byte chunks. That means if your computer sends a 5 byte request to the RC to begin programming it and waits for a response, it will never get that response because the modem hooked to your computer hasn't actually sent that data to the other modem yet, so the RC never sees it!
