Right-click on "Prolific." device in Device Manager and click on "Properties". Verify RS232 device is connected to COM PORT number between 1 to 4.

If install STILL failed to install the drivers or above "Prolific." device has a yellow triangle next to it, then: Install the driver file from the disc that came with the RS232 Device.

Modern consumer PCs have largely replaced serial ports with higher-speed standards, primarily USB. Windows Vista/7/8/10:Ĭontrol Panel » System » Device Manager Windows XP:Ĭontrol Panel » System » "Hardware" tab » Device Manager While interfaces such as Ethernet, FireWire, and USB also send data as a serial stream, the term serial port usually denotes hardware compliant with RS-232 or a related standard, such as RS-485 or RS-422. You can verify a correct install going to Device Manager. This time Windows will auto-install the drivers. So you have to install drivers manually.ġ) Disconnect RS232 device from your computer.Ĥ) Connect RS232 device into any USB port. However in 95% of cases, it will fail to automatically install the drivers. If it's successful, skip to Step 2 below. Allow 20+- seconds for Windows to attempt to install drivers automatically. Here's how.Ĭonnect RS232 device into any USB port on your laptop/computer. When you buy it, you'll need to install it to Windows-based computer. So all you need to get is a RS232-to-USB converter. Modern computers no longer have RS232 port (extinct just like VGA port is). RS232 was the universal/popular port back in the old days just like USB is today. This port was used on old computers before 2003. Some devices will only connect to your computer using a port called "RS232 Serial Port".

The FTDI cable establishes the handshake between PC and microcontroller so that the microcontroller can be programmed by PC. Now we can directly connect the other end of FTDI to any PC to communicate with the microcontroller. Here TXD of FTDI is connected to RXD of ♜ and RXD of FTDI is connected to TXD of ♜ to establish the interface. In the circuit we have a microcontroller having its UART connected to FTDI cable output. The cable also supports high baud rate for high speed data transfer.įor understanding the use of FTDI cable let us consider a simple application circuit as shown below.

Also because of its rigid construction the cable can be used in hard environment.

Since no additional firmware installation required for working, the interface can be established at any place and time. The cable is cheap and easily available in the market.

The cables provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with a TTL level serial interface to USB and they do not require any additional software installation and setting before using them. The chip handles all the protocol of converting USB data to UART serial data. FTDI cables are the family of USB to TTL serial UART converter cables and they are incorporated with FT232R IC.
