Yup - agree on the keyspan, they give very little problems & work well.

I use the KeySpan P/N: USA-19Qi which has worked for several robots, numerous microcontrollers, and every serial project that I've run through the computer's USB port on both Mac and PC computers. It's what I use exclusively for Robonova and Parallax products. By now, there's probably a newer version to take its place. Try checking KeySpan's web site at: http://www.keyspan.com/

My setup is like this.

Robobasic
Set
Port no COM1
Set Port Communication overtime 3000 msec
Contoller type MR-C 3024 Serial.

What we do not know is how you can get the output port.

I had a similar problem, you command a link where I speak of the subject, you have to translate it, because it is written in Spanish.

Well let me start by saying I finally got a Robot!!!!

Ok now for the problems, I got my Robonova on Monday And I just finished putting it together. But I’m having some problems communicating with my pc.
I keep getting a communication error number 4 and the Led keeps blinking.
I’m using an usb to serial converter. I’ve checked the battery voltage and it’s ok.
I’ve reinstalled the usb drivers, I checked that I’m on the right port and I have the right controller. And another thing I can select reset controller from robobasic and the robot resets but when I try and get controller info I get the communication error number 4
I’ve tried searching the forum for a fix but it is hard to find an exact match for the problem. Any help would be great.
