Wiring & diagram Info

serial ports are almost vanishing from laptops and PCs.
This post is about to create a virtual serial port where needed, for easy communication.
First we have to download a software named VSPE (Virtual Serial Port Emulator)
You can download the software from this link virtual serial port emulator.

 

 

After downloading the VSPE install it.
Then open the software.

Then click to Create New device icon marked below by red circle.

Then this window will come.Click next,

Next window is showing the name of serial port,here is COM1

Then click finish.A virtual serial port named COM1 is created. Now run the serial port by clicking Start Simulation icon marked below by red circle.

Now a virtual serial port COM1 is running.
But why you need virtual port or what will be the application?
Well actually it was needed by me for simulation of serial port in MATLAB and Proteus.
The communication between MATLAB and Proteus was done by this virtual serial port.
