serial to usb..

[malc-c]

Is anything actually to be gained from connecting a serial JDM programmer (or any serial device) to an USB adaptor ? At the end of the day the serial device is expecting one protocol, that of a serial port, and the USB convertor has to convert the USB protocol to whats expected, and if virtual ports are created and software drivers are involved then there are more possible ares for problems top occur.

Personally I find the JDM programmer fast enough for loading most HEX files, but if you want the speed of a USB programmer then buy either the PicKIT2 as Steve suggested, or the kit offered by CT Tuning ( http://www.ct-tuning.co.uk )

Hello friend,

it did not work for me

I´m using a USB-Serial converter from TrippLite (http://www.tripplite.com/products/pr...productID=2430) with Profilic chipset, and..... nothing works.

The converter works ok with other devices (like old mouses, modem, an DS1621 serial thermometer etc), but with JDM... no way

If you have some success, please, let us know !

Regards.

Try front and rear USB ports? On a hub, off the hub?
