Among my other DSMLink projects going at the time, I've made a DSMLink adapter with a USB connector as apposed to a DB-9 serial.Which will eliminate issues with USB to serial adapters.But, at present, to not conflict with the makers of the DSMLink, I will need to transplant an existing chip from your serial DSMLink adapter.These work 100% identical, with zero issues.
It in recognized by Windows as "DSMLink Adapter", and uses a virtual COM port driver(meaning it will show up as an additional COM port).Your original serial DSMLink adapter can be returned to normal for warranty/update issues.The USB adapter will have several feet of wire to further eliminate the need for the serial extension cable required for the serial DSMLink adapter.I"m making these in a low volume at first to address some issues I've heard from the locals with problems running USB to serial adapter or for people with laptops which don't have serial ports, and don't want to purhase an adapter.Still working on the final price, but it will be around $50.PM me with any interest.
