Serial data to USB

[cooksydesign]

All the Belkin serial to USB does is turn a USB port on the PC into a serial port (virtually)

All communications are serial type. RS232 (sort of).

Straight USB is a different thing altogether.

The free version of MCS 3.0 does the 16F628A.

What version of PBP and MCS are you using?

Does this mean then in VB6 I can select a USB port just the same as a "normal" comm port?

I do not use VB or .NET
In other languages when using on of these converters, it is treated as a serial port.

For example. One of my machines that does not have a serial port, only USB, add a hub and four serial to USB converters, device manager shows com 2 through 5. If I use hyperterminal, I pick one of these just as I would a real serial port. The same goes for Python and Liberty Basic (the two I use).

So I would guess in VB you would do the same because the OS sees these converters as a serial port.
