Connect the serial end of the adapter to the other end of the RS232 serial cable and connect the USB end of the adapter to the computer USB port directly.
And if you haven’t already got a standard RS232 serial cable with male and female connectors you might want one of them just to extend the cable length.Ĭonnect the RS232 serial cable to the COM port on the cutter. Don’t buy a cheaper adapter without the FTDI chipset, it won’t work. To connect, you need a USB to RS232 Serial DB9 Adapter with FTDI Chipset.
The COM connection is also referred to as a ‘Serial’ or ‘Serial (COM)’ connection. So instead we need to connect via the COM port on the GoldCut cutter. But USB to serial with the FTDI chipset does work. When connecting the GoldCut to a Mac, a straightforward USB to USB connection from the cutter to the Mac computer does NOT usually work.
