Hi there,
Using standard USB-to-RS232 converters I have problem on some external devices when connected (communication do not work...). I suppose reason is that USB output voltage is low (5V) and cannot have more then 5V at RS232 side. This way, some devices that I connect to this cable using RS232 cannot communicate and needs RS232 connection with voltage closer to 12V.
Is there a way to have USB-to-RS232 converter that use external power supply which way I can have 12V on RS232 side of converter ??
Does anybody have solved this issue and how?
I am newbie at PCB production but can handle it somehow OR is there a way to find such product which I can buy under the reasonable price?
Thank you.
Knut
