USB to Serial Port

Question

I bought I device which is to be connected to computer through USB. I am about to program this device using Matlab. I would like my computer to see this device (when connected)as in a communication port not as a usb device. Device manager sees it as "libusb" with USBasp driver.

What I want is to convert its connection as in COM port, so that in my program I can easily declare what COM port is the device connected then I can write/read the data on it.

Answer 1

When I worked at Honda we frequently used these with pretty good success.
