Using a PIC32 processor with 6 serial ports, USB, SPI, and Ethernet ports we went on our merry way to accomplish this relatively simple engineering task. We set up one serial port and enabled ...

Before USB ports became standard on PCs, several devices connected through a serial port. They're obsolete in many ways, but they still see some use.

The serial ports on each adapter appear as standard COM ports to the host computer enabling compatibility with legacy software. All SeaLINK USB serial adapters use a state-machine architecture that ...

Two ports not enough for your parallel hacking needs? Believe it or not, we’ve also seen a quad USB-to-serial adapter that you can put together, though it’s a considerably more complex circuit.

A socket that connects to a serial interface (one bit following another over one line). Serial ports are widely used by sensors for data acquisition, and they were standard on early computers for ...

Learn what a USB to Serial adapter is used for, when you might need one, and whether installing a driver is required for it to work properly.
