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

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

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
