The cheap RS232/USB converter with a prolific PL2303 chip in it
seem not to work with the Vantage. Please take one with a FTDI chipset
when connecting a Vantage to a Meteohub.

Shops in Germany that have FTDI-based converter:

Hi,

I just got my new system all set up and I waited to order a USB/Serial adapter until I could try out the one I own. It is a Keyspan USA-19HS, but it does not work unfortunately. It works with the PC to Vantage Pro2 though.

The links you gave me for a FTDI chip are from shops in Germany, but I can't read any of the pages to try and find a match here in the United States. Can you tell me more about the kind of FTDI chip that I need to be installed into the USB adapter or who makes them here?

Thanks.

I think I found one. Can you look at this one?

This one too looks like it might work.

Hi,
both do look ok to me.

Which RS232 is the best for the Vantage Pro2?

Here's a good source for FTDI cables in the USA.

I just ordered the 1 foot model for under $24 delivered.

** UPDATE **
Cable installed and working fine. :)
