USB to 9-pin serial port (HELP!!)
Just wondering if it was possible to convert the 9-pin to USB with an adapter because most of our computers do not have the 9-pin serial port. Any suggestions and advice would be helpful.

Don't buy the $3.99 USB to serial converter that is going on eBay.
It does work .... but only for 2-4 minutes before it crashes Windows (even 2000 and XP --- you have to fully reboot!) ![]() |

I bought this adapter, and it works fine. It's $16.99.

Re: USB to 9-pin serial port (HELP!!)
Ya i've used a usb to 9 pin last year and it worked great. This year the code gets corrupted and never works right. Instead it locks the RC into prog. mode and the only way to get it out is pressing something like reset then program then wait for the light to blink yaddaaa yaddaa yaddaa.. works great for dashboard though.

We're using a Keyspan USA-19HS, which works fine. Stay away from the Belkin USB-serial adapter - we started out with one and it transferred at about one bit/sec.

There have been several threads on this. Search for "Bafo" I recommend the Bafo Technolgies' BF-810
I have had good success with it. Joe J. |
