Hey all,
i recently bought a JDM pic programmer that interfaces to the pc via RS232 serial. I however use a laptop (which of course has no com port). i thought i could get past this by buying a simple usb to serial port cable.
I am now seeing quite a few people saying the radio shack cable i bought is not acctualy true rs232 conversion and thus has very limited success with pic porgrammers.
does anyone have a suggestion for overcoming this hurdle? (other than using a pc with a serial port)?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
