Virtual Serial Port Driver

I’ve tested a lot of VSPs over the years, but Electronic Team’s Virtual Serial Port Driver is just so much easier to use and it never acts up on me. As a java coder, I highly recommend it.

My company provides an open-source “glue” system that allows home systems to communicate info and function intelligently together. This can range from lighting, security systems, etc.

Our developers often create new applications that we end up wanting to evolve and upgrade support for similar devices. We needed to be able to monitor multiple serial ports so our software could simulate the devices we wanted to control.

I ended up searching for a solution to this problem for quite a while, and eventually, I came across Virtual Serial Port Driver by Electronic Team when I needed a couple of serial ports for my own PC (which didn’t have ANY serial port at all).

Electronic Team’s software has allowed me to develop software on a LAPTOP, regardless of serial ports- as well as develop software from only a single PC that once required two serial ports.

It’s great to easily and quickly be able to monitor and record app error conditions from faulty cables. VSPD is very easy to use and set-up. It’s reasonably priced, and it’s very reliable. I enjoy incorporating it into many of my projects. I recommend it to other businesses in the Home Automation industry!

I often work with applications that require an easy way to identify port communication errors, VSPD was a pretty affordable software that did the job well and was easy to integrate into my workflow.

We’re a start-up IT company in the artificial intelligence and robotics industry. We had a project that involved building an AI-powered video monitoring system that did not require a person to operate it. We wanted to find a way to record any issue with our RS232 ports so that we could more effectively debug the system.

When we found Virtual Serial Port Driver from Electronic Team, it seemed like exactly what we were looking for, so we gave it a shot. Glad to say it was everything it promised and more.

It’s fantastic because it features a null-modem cable (a technology that is considered primitive and hard to find), and Electronic Team’s software has availed us the option to emulate baud rate and support HandFlow control exceptionally well.

We plan on using Virtual Serial Port Driver whenever we lack real hardware to accomplish our project goals. This software has saved us a lot of money and helped us avoid wasting a lot of time. If we hadn’t found it, we would’ve been running around every tech store we could find looking for a null-modem cable.

Thanks!

I needed to develop a fuel cell-driven boat. It was supposed to have an onboard computer running Windows. The computer would be responsible for important features like speed, water depth, and water temp. We had a standard GPS software(NMEA) already on a computer, but we needed a virtual serial port.

My team and I looked at a few different options, but we decided to go with Virtual Serial Port Driver because it had an “automatic start” program, which was great because we wanted the virtual serial port to start-up automatically once the onboard computer turned on (other software we looked at required manual start-up from what we found).

We’ve been able to successfully use the software to help us transfer data from the GPS to the inland water navigation. It’s cool because we can see the boat’s actual positioning and course.

I’ve enjoyed using this software as a student, and I am excited to work with it on future projects once I graduate. I think other students should try it because it’s going to be a big time-saver.
