What I need to get to work together:
- A USB barcode scanner
- A Windows (7) Machine
- A piece of software that listens for data over a COM port
So I believe I need a way to make USB device appear to be a serial one. Several caveats have lead me to this point. The computer has no serial ports. The software allows (and is a needed feature) for multiple devices so even if it did have serial ports it wouldn't have enough.
I can't quite find the right or workable answer on my own. Any help would be appreciated.
