No RS232 port alternative
The laptop computer my team uses for programmer our robot does not have an RS232 port on it, given that it is a newer model. For the competition, I have been using a USB to RS232 converter, but the download time is painfully slow! While at our regional competition, I had another team tell us that there was another port that we could use instead of the USB port for programming if we got a different converter.
Does anybody know what kind of converter this mght be, or where I could get one? If it helps, we're running Windows XP Media Center Edition, so it has some extra media ports for cards and the like. I think the team we heard this from referenced one of these ports, but I might be wrong. Demothesis |
