Has anyone torture tested USB RS232 converter cables lately? The ones Dontronics sells with the FTDI chipset have been working great for us, but they raised the price through the roof. We need one that supports DSR and DTR signals, works on all Windows OS's except NT & 95, handles 460,800 baud, and has good quantity 100 pricing. -Brian http://www.rabbitsemiconductor.com http://ww

I got a USB to RS232 adapter off eBay. I'm using it in Windows so it comes up as a COM port. The only problem is that the device appears as COM5, but all the old programs I have only work with ports COM1 to COM4.

In the past the typical debug backdoor was a RS232 interface. I have for instance a BlueWave multi-DSP VME board, which has beside the VME and an ethernet board an RS 232 for console output. The reason RS232 was chosen for this purpose is obvious, cheap, small, available on most PCs, easy to implement and in a way foolproof (or at least problems such as wrong pinout can be easily fixed). ...

Ahh the ever popular confusing with RS232 continues. So the first thing I'm asking myself is if my dsp (the blackfin 533) is a DCE or DTE. I'm assuming it's a DTE for the time being. So I figure that all I need to do is use a null modem cable that has the TX and RX lines crossed as well as the RTS and CTS lines. I figure I will just use two of the Blackfin's Programmable Flags to behave a...
