rs232 to usb converter circuit

Hi, everybody!!!

I would like to implement a circuit wich can convert RS232, serial port to USB.
I've found at least one project, but it mainly used a module called USBmod1, wich it's too expensive,
So I would like to know if someone knows how to implement this kind of circuit, avoiding de expensive modules normally used.

Thanks, Helder Silva

convert rs232 serial port to usb

you can use the silabs cp2102

it doesnt need external crystals, and its quite compact

there are drivers issues for linux, new drivers should be out 'now'.

Thanks, everybody

serial to usb converter circuit linux

Yes glenjoy said is true, as USB to RS232 cost less then 7$. where as developing own PCB with components will cost more then 25$.

See this link:
