USB to Serial

Hello everyone,

I just bought a new laptop and it obviously doesn't have serial connection. I went to radio shack and found a USB to serial converter but it doesn't seem to work right. I receive a "Hardware Communication Error" when I try to download my projects onto the stamp.

Any ideas?

Thanks
~Greg

    ··· Check your com port settings.. The USB adaptor com port, and make the needed adjustments.. Give that a try and see what it does..

    Not all USB cables are created equal. If checking your settings and turning off fifo does not fix your problem take the cable back to radio shack and get the one Parallax sells.
