usb/rs232 adapter question

Post by Steejans »

I have a usb/serial adapter I got from adafruit several years ago. It is labeled as "sp-880". I just ordered a new one and it is labeled as "UT-880". Does anyone know the difference? Both seem to work just fine but I'm curious about what has changed.

We have had a few versions of these over the years based on a couple of generations of chips from Prolific and more recently SiLabs. The newer ones have more stable drivers and perform better with later versions of Windows.
