So I just bought the K8048 today and found out on here through the “Search” that a USB to Serial Port cable won’t work. I do not have any computers with an RS-232-Port. Is there a way to change this circuit board into a USB one or did I just buy a box of parts that are useless? (I have not put it together yet)
I don’t think there is anyway to change the board.
You could however buy an older computer (they are very cheap these days) with an RS232 port.
Yes, I can probably get an old computer. Why isn’t this released so a solution can be found for this problem?
Velleman should support their product and if they only make 10 year old technology to not work with current day standards then that is their business.
Sorry to read that the kit does not suit your requirements.
If the kit has not been assembled, most likely, you can return it for a refund, please check with your distributor.
EDU10 is a USB pic programmer and experiment board.
