Re: usb to serial
hi
thx for your replies
here is the story and this is the website
**broken link removed**
ps I got the B1236R model
this led display badge comes with a usb cable
and a cd rom that has a simple software inside-- the prolific usb-serial driver and a software for me to send things to the badge
( it is supposed i can use it to send self-made logoes to the badge )
as it says , it has 2 connection model , one is thru serial port directly and one is thru the usb cable ( the software made a virtual com 3 with prolific usb- serial driver)
i installed the driver properly and saw com3 under my computer
also in the software i control text to place into the badge shows a activated com 3
when i pressed the send button, nothing happened lol
I seldom give up i think i tried at least 400 times and tried different ways
i even tried to go to prolific website to install the latest driver
still did anything work
sigh
the weird thing is on the led badge there are only 3 buttons
one brightness button, one power on off button
and message select button( in the software , I can send 8 msgs and the button is for me to select which msg to be appeared on the led badge screen
I tried and tried from one msg to the 8th msg
nothing was sent there
i tried to work with them all while sending simple text to the badge thru the virtual com 3
and today i went to the shop and the owner gave me another one to try it out
same things happened --------- nothing worked
it seems to me that this is a big company
it is weird that 2 of these led badges are not working
suppose something is wrong ??????????????
what would that be?
oh my god lol i am not kidding
i tried the first one for 7 hours straight and then
today i tried the second one for another 5 hours
nothing worked!
any smart people in this forum out there
i really hope u can tell me why all these happened
thanks so much
lol by the way i am still trying
if it is still not working, i think i will return this to the shop
tomorrow
Added after 5 minutes:
hi

my model comes with a usb cable ( it is a usb type)
and the software has a driver called prolific usb-serial driver that makes a virtual com 3 to the pc for me to use to send text and logos to the badge.
thanks
