What is a RS232 cable?
First and foremost, it is a form of serial data transmission. At one time, it was the most used form of data transmission. You will probably recognize the standard 9 pin DB9 cable. Simply put, a RS232 connection transmits signals using a positive voltage for a binary 0 and a negative voltage for a binary 1.
Do USB to serial adapters need drivers?
When you connect a USB-to-Serial cable to your computer, the driver doesn’t install. No driver found.” The devices for some USB-to-Serial cables aren’t installed by default on 64-bit operating systems. These cables use unsigned device drivers and must be installed manually.

Does serial to USB work?
Yes, a RS232 to USB converter does have a full-blown UART circuit built-in. As any standard UART, it does have Rx, Tx, and flow control pins. As any UART, it must be properly configured to be able to communicate with the “partner” at the other end of UART link. To do so, the UART circuit is “bridged” to USB interface.
What is the difference between RS-232 and Ethernet?
Ethernet is a type of serial communication. There are many differences between Ethernet and other serial protocols though. The voltage levels and cable impedances are different but the primary difference is that Ethernet is an intelligent communication while RS422, RS232 are not.
Is RS-232 and serial the same?
RS-232 signals are similar to your microcontroller’s serial signals in that they transmit one bit at a time, at a specific baud rate, with or without parity and/or stop bits. The two differ solely at a hardware level. On most PCs these signals swing from -13 to +13V.
