ROBOTC can use non prolific serial ports, not sure about Eas圜 or PROS, there’s no technical reason why not just that they are trying to make everything streamlined and so search specifically for prolific adapters. There are other chipset vendors, most notably FDTI and silabs, these work well but are not recognized as programming adapters by the programming software by default. The problem is that many of the cheap USB-serial adapters can end up with the unauthorized copy of the prolific chipset, you never know until you try them. I replaced some of my bad cables with adapters made by Ativa (sold by office depot) with good success, they don’t need modification and connect properly. Or add an RS232 extension, something like this The only down side is that you have two sets of female screwheads so one has to be ripped off to make it connect. This is the cable we switched to until we ordered a bunch of new cables. One additional benefit of using this adapter is that it is officially supported under Windows 8 as it contains the rev D version of the PL2303 chipset. Basic Specs: Supported device ID and product strings. prolific recommends this part as using an authorized chipset. Prolific USB to Serial Driver Windows 10.
PROLIFIC USB TO SERIAL DRIVER 3.2.0.0 DRIVERS
So pretty much the same result, any driver after Oct 2008 detects the bad cables and refuses to load.Īnother solution that allows recent drivers is to just replace the USB to serial part of the programming kit but keeping the serial to RJ11 interface. Vista driver that VEX recommends for Windows 8, from VEX wiki Version 3.4.36.247 (this was V1.7 from prolific) Prolific 1.3.0 (also called v1210, MarkO’s from below)
GPS_AllInOne_1013 (This is the same one that Eas圜 includes) No driver included, the driver on is the same as the VEX wiki Version 2.1.35.211 (this was V1.7 from prolific) The works/no works indication refers to the “pirate” PL2303 based cable. The original results are posted here but I’m copying into this thread as well.
PROLIFIC USB TO SERIAL DRIVER 3.2.0.0 PRO
Tests were done using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. About a year ago I posted information indicating which drivers have been shown to work, I’m reposting that information here and also some additional results with recent versions of ROBOTC and Windows 7. NOTE: as of April 2010 the Windows driver download has been updated for compatibility with Windows 7 in addition to the older Windows operating systems.
Once the driver is installed you will download the software and. The cause of many of these failures are updated prolific drivers detecting that the cables use an unauthorized version of the PL2303 serial to USB chip. Select Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port Version: 3.2.0.0 the driver will then install. There have been more cases of old VEX programming cables apparently failing to work.
