This compact adapter from LogiLink allows the operation of serial (also known as Com Port or RS232 interface) devices on the USB 2.0 port. Ideally suited for operating serial devices such as modems or ISDN adapter as well as older hardware in Notebooks and PCs of latest generations that do not have a serial interface. An 80cm USB extension cable is included in the delivery.This text is machine translated.
We have a couple older CNC machines that use rs232. The onboard storage is very small so they will request the file in chunks from the host PC. I want to update there computers but with phasing out of serial ports, my best option is a USB to serial adapter. Is this a viable option for machines that require this connection to run for hours at a time?

I have an issue where my prolific USB to Serial adapter stopped being detected as 'n "Ports (Com & LPT)" device. It keeps on detecting it is a " USB Composite" device, even after installing the correct Windows drivers downloaded directly from the manufacturer's website. Uninstalling it and reinstalling it doesn't help.
I get the same result on another computer also running Windows 10. It simply refuses to recognize the adapter as a USB to Serial device anymore and keeps on detecting it as a "USB Composite" device as soon as you plug it in after uninstalling it and restarting Windows. Windows also claims that it finds no better driver than the one currently installed when doing a driver search, even after installing the manufacturer drivers.

I will be moving from PC to Mac, but will need to run a Windows application that uses a serial port, using boot camp. Would I be right in thinking I would need to install this adapter under Windows using a Windows driver?
The CG-4X232FTDI 4-Port USB to RS232 Adapter FTDI Cable is 7ft in length and engineered for retail POS (Point Of Sale) terminals at sales counters such as those in banks and grocery stores. They are essentially a PC in a custom case attached to printers, scanners and displays ready for data. Some of the peripherals are integrated into the POS terminal, such as the keyboard, cash drawer, simple pole display and receipt printer. Others are external to the terminal such as scales, large flat panel pole displays, credit card readers, and bar code scanners. This serial adapter is supported by Windows 11.
Because of the large number of available USB serial adapters, we cannot support these adapters and their drivers. Please always contact your vendor where you purchased the adapter, or the adaptor's manufacturer.
Since the adapter's manufacturers often only provide sparse information about OS compatibility of specific driver versions, we recommend to use the update to macOS Ventura to also update your USB serial adapter's driver. Even in those cases where your current driver version seems to run under macOS Ventura.
ilink does not support you in the installation or use of drivers with reduced security policy on the startup disk. If in doubt, we recommend to wait with the switch to a Mac with Apple processor, until the vendor of your USB serial adapter has released an appropriate new driver.
A warning panel will pop up when the system tries to load the new driver for the first time. Depending on the driver this may be during driver installation, after the next system reboot, or when the USB serial adapter is first plugged in. At this time you will need to open System Preferences, select the Security & Privacy section, and click Allow.
Please first check what kind of USB serial adapter you are using. The important thing here is not the manufacturer of the adapter (of which there are many), but the manufacturer of the adapter's chip set.
A USB UART adapter is used to access the serial console of the Raspberry Pi from a development host such as a laptop or desktop PC. The USB end connects to the PC and the UART header end connects to the USB. While it is possible to connect the USB end to another Raspberry Pi, this configuration has not been tested unless explicitly mentioned against an individual entry below.
HDMI to VGA converters do work, they convert the digital serial data streams from HDMI and using complex logic, and digital to analog converters they convert the HDMI signal to the analog signals needed for VGA, and sometimes also convert HDMI audio to an analog stereo signal. But note that if they feed off the PI it can cause a problem, as the PI only is designed to provide about 50mA to the (HDMI or DVI-D) monitor, and these adapters use >200mA, while the absolute maximum the PI can let through is 200mA.These adapters also thus use about half the energy that the PI (without USB devices) uses.Therefore its much better to use an adapter that has an external power input. Alternatively there are HDMI dongles (male to female HDMI adapters) that have a barrel input connector to feed the adapter with.
Though some might argue that Serial port are things in the past, it is still the most popular port for those who are into electronic DIY. Building electronic device with serial port interface is cheaper than buiding one that uses USB. That is the reason why people still sell USB-Serial adapter to those electronic DIY enthusiast.
Hello guys ,the information here is indeed really useful and i wouldnt have wasted a day looking for drivers , had i known it would work so easily .. However my question is that , I am trying to connect a zigbee through this serial port , so can i directly write /dev/ttyUSB0 instead of the file for the Serial (i.e. /dev/ttyS0or do i need to convert it somehow ?
As suggested in the post, we have tried with no avail to get a USB to Serial adapter to work since Windows 10 1703 update. We bought the FTDI adapter as suggested, updated the driver for the prolific as suggested, tried to switch to Microsoft USB to Serial, only to blue screen the machine. We put a serial port sniffer on the machine and can see the data getting transmitted to the device, an Epson TM-U375 serial printer that we use all over the place. Worked great up to this update. Any help, suggestions, advice would be appreciated.
3. Wait for Microsoft Windows to automatically install the drivers for the adapter. There are no additional drivers that need to be installed. The adapter will show up in Devices and Printers. 2ff7e9595c
