10LC Wiki

If you need to use a USB serial port adapter because your PC does not have a serial port, I can recommend two of them that I purchased from Amazon and personally tested. Full disclosure - the links below are affiliate links to the products - if I am gonna personally recommend them, why not get something for it if I can?

First is a DTECH adapter that uses an FTDI chipset. The second is a Gearmo adapter that also uses a FTDI chipset. One is being used with my desktop for development of 10LC with a 9010A unit on my desk, the other is used with my laptop for testing scripts on actual arcade hardware with a 9010A unit.

Both adapters work great set at 9600 baud, N81, with everything else in the driver set to the defaults.
