ROBONOVA CABLE... Help!!

[Chrisbie]

The ROBONOVA comes with a SERIAL cable for programming. I want to know if you can conenct this to a USB PORT using a SERILA TO USB converter???

Please help, did anybody tried this???? I want to use it to my laptop but my laptop is WITHOUT SERIAL COM PORT....

Thanks,

Chris

Yes it works fine (at least on a couple of different USB/Serial adapters that I have.)

anubody with a diagram for serial to usb... in case my coverter will not work, i will create my own? Will there be no problem on the VOLTAGE output for USB? will it be USB 1 or USB 2?? any will work??

Another thing, I have 2 of SANDISK SD WiFi, is there a way I can connect this to my RN-1? Is wifi possible?

Thanks,

Chris

1. Chill... Really there's no tiger chasing you

2. Yes I've connected it with a USB adapter. The only thing is that I had to adjust the time slider a bit

EDIT: posted almost at the same time as me so I didn't see your last post. My replies are to the original question

You can't just use USB on an RS232 device. It's far more involved than just voltage levels. You could build your own but I can't imagine why you'd want to given how cheap they are to buy. I like this one http://www.saelig.com/miva/merchant.mvc ... ory_Code=U

hitec robotics sells a cable too, so it has to work
