Since this driver is preinstalled on macOS Maverick and higher, it may just work out of the box.

The Prolific driver version 1.4.0 created a new device socket under Mac OS X, /dev/cu.usbserial.įor most development boards (such as the Arduino or Pycom), you most likely need the USB FTDI driver.

These drivers are often called Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers. The driver you need depends on the chipset you are communication with. If you create your own UTP cables, you can easily make one yourself. As with the null modem cable, beware that you might need a cross-over UTP cable. There are cables or adapters that plug into a regular UTP cable.

In case your serial port is a RJ45 connector (which may be the case on network hardware), you also need a DB-9 to RJ-45 convertor. If it is about 1 centimeter long, the cabling is "straight" and it will not work as a serial cable (these straight connectors are used to extend old VGA cables). If the connector is about 4 centimeter long, this is probably the case. You can also buy a female-to-female DB9 connector, but make sure that the internal wiring is cross-over like is the case with a null modem. The USB-to-serial cable, as well as the network device will have a DB9-male connector.

A null modem cable is a cable with DB9-female connectors on both ends. Make sure to also purchase a null modem cable, or a female-to-female DB9 connector. The Prolific PL-2303 is a very common controller, and one I recommend. Like mine, the actual conversion from USB to serial is done by a Prolific PL-2303 USB to Serial Bridge Controller buried in the connector. I bought a Icidu C-707607 USB to Serial cable. In case the serial port is a DB-9 connector or RJ45 connector, you need a USB-to-serial adapter.

Updated code to use use Serial Port API 2.0.Updated code for line mode history so that its behavior is consistent with UNIX style consoles.Added better error handling when the remote control socket port or HTTP server port are already in use by another app.GUI tweak for better compatibility with macOS Big Sur.Added "GetFrontmostWindow as integer" script command.Selecting either the rated or maximum speed from the serial port information popup in the Serial Port Options, will set the baud rate to the selected value.Added button to "Save as Default" message dialog to open the default file location.Added context menu item to connection status label for an easy way to reveal the capture file.The "Disconnect" menu item can be used to close and active connection. The menu item indicates if the socket is connected or not. Added "Remote" menu that is visible when the Remote Control Socket is enabled via the preferences.Added keyboard shortcuts to toggle RTS and DTR handshake lines.Added "PauseDisplay(ID as integer, Value as boolean)" script command."PauseDisplay" is no longer a Connection Settings parameter.Scrolling to the bottom automatically unpauses the display. If enabled, scrolling up automatically pauses the display. Added Preferences setting for smart display pausing.The timestamps are added to the actual data, i.e. Added option to add timestamps to received data displayed in the CoolTerm window.Added code to improve accuracy for millisecond resolution timestamps.Renamed the "Absolute Date and Time" and "Absolute" timestamp formats to "Date and Time" and "Time", respectively.It is now possible to record current time stamps with millisecond resolution, and the relative timestamp format is no longer necessary. Replaced "Relative Time" timestamp format with "Time + Millis".
