Hi,

I've started looking through Nigels' RS232 tutorials. I've got two PIC18F2420's connected, one sending a byte to the other which it then sends it to an lcd. I want to connect my PC to a PIC but the PC only has usb ports. I need an adaptor. Will the cheapest of these three do the job?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
As above - I use a no-name USB to serial converter for my PC -> Pic communications and its fine
 
If you can find one there are USB to TTL serial adapters (parallax has one) which can be directly connected to the PICs USART pins (no MAX232 needed)
