What is a RS-232 port used for?
An RS-232 serial port is most often used by repair technicians to perform diagnostics and service updates. It may also be used to control a device when connected to a computer running a home automation system or Custom Integrated Audio/Video (A/V) system, such as the CAV-M1000ES Multi-room A/V Distribution System.
How do I connect a Serial Port to my laptop?
Steps as follows: Plug the serial DB-9 end of the console cable into the serial DB-9 port on your laptop. If your laptop has no serial DB-9 port, plug the serial DB-9 end of the console cable into the serial DB-9 end of a USB to serial DB-9 adapter and then into a USB port on your laptop.
How do I add a Serial Port to my printer?
How to install the printer driver for serial interface

How to setup a RS232 serial port through USB?
RS232 to USB on ebay. The RS232 unit provides all RS232 signals (between +-3V to +/-12V) and will plug into the MAX232 device. Since RS232 voltage levels are generated it will allow operation over long cables. For this method you will need the MAX232 chip (or equivalent) connected as shown in the circuits to decode/encode
How does Arduino work with RS232 shield?
to the DB9 connector of the RFID reader, and supply power to the integrated RFID reader. port to talk the integrated RFID reader, so we need to configure the jumpers on RS232 shield accordingly. to the reader’s antenna, the reader will buzz, and Arduino will print the ID on the serial port.
Do you need a RS232 chip for PIC?
Since RS232 voltage levels are generated it will allow operation over long cables. For this method you will need the MAX232 chip (or equivalent) connected as shown in the circuits to decode/encode the RS232 signal levels for the PIC’s digital i/o.

Do you need MAX232 serial port for microcontroller?
Using this unit means that you can plug the signals directly to the microcontroller RX TX pins (connect digital serial Rx to uC TX and digital serial Rx to uC Rx to communicate correctly) and you do not even need a MAX232.
