The Snoopy output showed commands to change word format but these didn’t actually do anything when I checked with an oscilloscope. Thankfully they haven’t pulled an FTDI on us yet… I rolled back my driver and refused any subsequent updates. I had to use an old driver to get it to work, which windows kept updating. I remember I had trouble with the device on windows. I bought a Garmin GPSmap 60CSx recently looks like it might be the end of real serial ports on that range in favour of USB also. Good to hear the three experts have been/are on the job though. Like other linux drivers, it will be mangled with Linux style sessions making it not traslateable, which is why I mentioned wireshark as an aid for the PL2303 also. Linux has a common device driver for usb connected phones, well my Alcatel, at least. ![]() On the subject of wireless internet, would it be more feasible to get a driver talking to a mobile phone com port) This might be able to use existing modem PPP suport on the network side. It would at least simplify the use down to one machine for gathering data. A bit like the Acorn terminal pipe A-B setting. I think some linux terminals support that connection. What went through my mind on this subject was to gleen some info from wireshark and have TX and RX connected. ![]() It has the flying leads for the Pi connection. The PL2303 that I have is the one commonly sold for connecting PC’s (that have USB serial drivers) to the Pi. Update: the clone, that I know is a clone, provides exactly the same information. If this in any way resembles the CH340 or CP210x, I’d be willing to give it a try if you can tweak the device recognition? Probably won’t work (as it is a different device), but hey, worth a try, no? -)
