If you have a USB->Serial converter you can test it with a Loopback Connection:

Just connect Pin2 and Pin3 (TX and RX) so that output is sent back to input, then use the following script:

Code: Select all

Serial.Connect(6)  'My port is COM6
Serial.Send("HelloWorld")
Pause(0.1)
r$ = Serial.Receive$()
print r$

Here's a picture of the cable. Using a jumper, pin 2 and 3 were shorted.
