Re: what usb -> serial adapter should i get?

2 days ago I returned all the cables and adapters I bought and went to another computer store which had the IOGEAR. I bought the cable, brought it home and connected the cable to my computer and installed per instructions. With all the other cables I could get the dashboard to work but it wouldnt recognise the controller. So today I took my computer and the iogear cable and brought them to our 06 controller. Powered up the other robot hooked my cables together and to the controller. Started IFI loader, clicked on "Controller Verification" and voila the controller is recognised. I an 99% sure I got a bad controller.

So now I will go call IFI and see what I need to do to send in the bad controller and get a new one before we NEED it, I guess I'll use an old controller for programming...
