I've had very good experiences with USB serial adapters.
We did as-well, until Windows 11. We have a project that uses USB serial adapters extensively. We had two different brands that had both been serving us well for decades. We were particular because sometimes we would use these with an embedded system that we couldn't install additional drivers on, so we need to make sure we had some of those at every site. Neither works with Windows 11! So now we have a third one that mostly does. I say "mostly" because while it functions, it doesn't show up as a serial port in Windows. Want to know what COM Port it is assigned to or other current settings, guess! Fortunately a new control box just came out without a serial port. Unfortunately, the control software on Windows will still only talk to a serial port. Are we having fun yet?
