How to fix Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port

Thursday, July 25, 2013 Posted by Glenn 0 comments

Windows can't install your Prolific USB-to-Serial (converter). Okay, this is just easy to fix, but honestly it took me 15 minutes to figured out what was wrong. I already tried several versions of prolific drivers and other drivers for USB to RS232 converter made by other manufacturers.

Anyways, mine is made by Prolific. Prolific is the manufacturer, there are lots of USB-to-Serial RS232 converters out in the market that are not complicated to install.

Okay, getting straight, mine now is working! Kindly uninstall any prolific (non-working) drivers in your computer and then follow my instructions.

1. Download this file. CLICK HERE (my Google Drive Mirror)
2. Save the file in your Desktop (for easy access).
3. Click START >> Right click My Computer >> Click Properties >> Click Device Manager.
4. Click USB-Serial Controller, or under the Ports, please click Prolific USB-to-Serial
5. Click Update Driver
6. Click Browse and locate the folder that you've downloaded from my site.
7. Finally, let me know if this works for you :)

Okay, so I was hesitating lately. Saan ba mas maganda? Sa Powerpoint o sa Word? Kasi kung sa Word ko ito ilalagay, pwede ko ito mailagay sa website ko.
Anyways, I won’t and I can’t teach you how to exactly install the basic drivers and IDEs necessary for the Zilog ha? Wala akong microcontroller module dito. I use arduino for my projects at sa 5th year ko pa yang Zilog. So baka sa summer na ako bumalik diyan.

HERE ARE THE THINGS YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL:

Basically, all programming ang maituturo ko ditto. So let us begin.
THE C PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE BASICS
I bet medyo naaalala nyo pa ang unang una nyong programming language na C.
Example program. This will compile and display: “I love you”. By the way, don’t waste your time by running it. Quotations here in MS Word may confuse the compiler.


#include                              
#include
Int main(void)
{
                printf(“I love you”);
                getch();
}

EXPLANATION:
Yung katabi ng mga nasa #include, yan yung tinatawag na headers. Kaya nga may .h na nakalagay. Basically #include is a function that will include files, such as your headers or your other files. Kunwari, #include “this_is_my_second_function.c”
Now, what is the difference between “ “ and < > ? The quotation tells the reader that these are your own files. < > indicates, on the other hand that the file is in the compiler itself.
The int main(void) { } is our main function. Later on, I will show you how to make your own function such as delay.

VARIABLES & VARIABLE DECLARATIONS
Variables are used to store different types of data. Kumbaga sa Assembly Low level Programming language, ito ay isang registers. Parang sa microprocessor. Anyway, there are two types of variables (there are the two ways of declaring your variables inside your program.
1.      GLOBAL VARIABLES
2.      LOCAL VARIABLES

Now, ano anman ang pinagkaiba nitong dalawang ito? Ewan ko. Joke.
Global Variables – ito yung mga variables na nasa taas ng ating mga mga functions. Usually nasa itaas ng main function. Pero ang pinakamabisang pageexplain kung pano masasabi na ang isang variable ay globally declared ay sa pamamagitan ng pagtingin kung ito ay nasa ilalim ng mga headers. Magulo ba? Tsss.
Local Variables – ito yung mga variables na nasa loob ng isang certain functions.
Note that all local variables are merely accessible inside your function where it is declared. While the global variable, on the other hand, can be accessed by any of your functions anytime.
So, hindi ko na ieexplain yung “;” at yung mga uri ng DATA TYPES ha? Pero sige, konti lang. “;” ito ay yung tinawag kong TERMINATOR noong 2nd year college ako na nauso naman sa buong klase at until now ginagamit ng mga kakalse ko. Hindi ko talaga alam kung ano ang official na tawag dyan sa programming, basta ang term ko dyan ay terminator.
EXAMPLES OF DATA TYPES: float, int, bool, etc…

MACRO DEFINITIONS
Let us go to macro function for awhile. I learned this one when I was in 2nd year ulit. Hehehe. Effective ito lalo na kapag may exam ka at gusto mong mauna magpacheck. XD. Ito ay gamit sa pagpapaikli at pagdeclare ng CONSTANTS.
Macros are defined by the #define directive
Examples:
//this allows NUMBER to represent 3
#define NUMBER 3
//this allows SHOW to represent the printf() instruction
#define SHOW printf(“Hello World!”);

Commonly used data types

char(8 bits)
 int (16 bits)
 float (32 bits)

Array – a group of elements having the same data type
Example: char string[100] – an array named “string”
composed of 101 characters (from string[0] to string[100])

Variable Declarations
Variables are declared by the data type and variable name
