Hi,

Anyone have any experience using an USB to serial (i.e. RS-232) converter? There are many on the market and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good one available in the USA.

This is not a BASCOM ar an Atmel issue. I have some devices that need to be programmed via a serial port. I am trying to program them using a laptop with no serial port.

As always, thanks and regards,

Pete

Pete,

The ATEN brand has very good drivers. This is often the downfall of most of these adaptors. You will find some people will have no problem with one brand and others will have problems. For 6 years I have been supplying and recommending my customers use the ATEN and in every case they work. This is for many hundreds of customers. You will be able to buy them in the USA.

This is what they look like and this is the part number UC232A
