Well, it's 2024 now, this video is 5 years old, and the process did not work for me. Maybe over time the web site changed, and I just can't find what I need, !BUT! I want to compliment you on an extremely well done instructional vid. No "uh, kinda sorrt wanna" stuff, no hesitation, very well written, very comprehensive. Even though it didn't fix my problem, I watched the whole darn thing because I was mesmerized by the fluidity of your presentation. You don't mess around, Tim. Well done.

I've spent the better part of two days with hundreds of visits to the device manager and you are the only one out of maybe 40 or more sites and untold 'experts' who got it completely right in 10 minutes. I'm so tired of 'driver' scams and click bait traps, not to mention stupid techs who don't know how to communicate. What a great feeling when my devices actually started popping up on the device manager. It also helped to ID a bad cable. You're bookmarked forever. Thanks Tim.

hey you guys saved my ass. I'm configuring a DOF reality P6 motion simulator, and their support website does not include a driver. The plug and play features for some reason were not available on my system, (Windows 10), and the device showed up under Other devices with no driver, but now after installing your CH340 driver I've found the devices listed under the ports section, so I can copy the com port number to the config file. your beautifully detailed video description told me what to do if I don't see my device in the ports section, then I found the CH340 mentioned there which I had seen in the troubleshooting part of DOF reality support instructions. (I don't even know what that is! haha) I've never used a USB to Serial device before... and I can imagine I would be spending hours at this, but your video led me to installing the drivers and subsequently locating my device on COM5, (and another on COM6) within 25 minutes of plugging it in and discovering that it's not plug and play. I appreciate you guys. And I'll be back if I still can't get this software to control the hardware

I can see the port in the device manager and input from the scanner can be captured in Notebook, word and other Windows programs, including web browsers. However, running an application for retail sales the scanned data never makes it to that application. Have a second USB type scanner and that works fine. Scratching my head trying to figure out why the scanned data from the serial device never makes it to the application. Any advice what to look for?

I don't see the prompt, but the error on the software says "no response or timeout" mid-testing So the problem is connection dropping from time to time. Please i need help I changed the FIFO buffers to minimum for connection issues but it didn't help. 😔

Two thoughts come to mind. Not all USB to serial adapters are the same. Get a good quality one, Belkin used to be a good one but I haven't used one in a critical application in a while. The other is especially laptops don't always have full power available to the USB port. Try running it through a powered USB hub and see if that helps.

Thanks so much for this info Tim. I was hopeful that it would solve my problem of providing a drive that would work with the new MacBook Air with the M1 chip on which I'm running Windows 10 via Parallels. However, it seems that despite the Rosetta emulation with 64bit apps, that conversion capability doesn't extend to drivers. What I'm wondering is if you think this might be a Microsoft/Windows or a Parallels issue? My sense is that its a Microsoft issue and probably the differences resulting from the ARM architecture. If that's the case, I'm hoping it's addressed sooner than later. Any insights you can provide Tim or anyone viewing this thread would be much appreciated.

@@TimWilborne Hey Tim, the trick is Apple has introduced the new M1 chip which is a total game changer -- meaning lots of code rewriting. A lot has been done so far and most (99%) of stuff works on the M1. It's just those outlier apps which can be an issue, or, in my case, the drivers. Because a compatible driver couldn't be located a port couldn't be created. My guess is that one will be coming given Apple's move of all of their hardware to M1[X] platform. FYI, had no problem on the virtual machine via VM Ware on my old MacBook Air.

Can I connect a USB device to a serial port on a Windows 98 machine?

Yes you'll probably need to download the Windows 98 drivers but it will work just fine.

I am playing with a $2.00 USB to Serial FT232RL board. I am fairly sure the chip is probably not genuine but anyway I plugged it in and the windows 10 pro. Machine automatically downloaded and installed the driver. It shows that the device is working correctly and also shows it as a working com port (no yellow flag) if I run putty terminal software and jumper the tx rx pins putty echoes the typed characters back to me but if I try and connect it to my DirectSoft DL06 PLC (I've done years of programming on these) I cannot get it to communicate the diagram shows rx rx and ground being used to communicate along with cts rts being shorted together. No workie!! I can just buy a $15.00 converter cable but was having fun playing around. The board is an Ebay board like the Hiletgo board on Amazon. I did find a diagram with several other terminals tied together DTR and a couple of other terminals. What might be the problem.

Yes I did swap the RX and TX terminals. Also for the fun of it tried connecting it to an Arduino Uno and had no luck there either while trying to download a sketch.
