We use the Silicon Labs CP2102 USB-to-UART Bridge Controller in several of our products to provide USB connectivity while communicating via a simple serial protocol. It is the key component of our Pololu USB-to-serial adapter:

and is also used in our Orangutan USB Programmer, USB 16-Servo Controller, and Orangutan X2. These CP2102-based products feature a mini-B connector, so you will need a USB A to mini-B cable to connect them to one of your computer’s USB ports. Once the appropriate drivers are installed for your system, the CP2102 will look like a standard serial port. This document provides you with the necessary drivers along with installation instructions.
Before you connect your Pololu CP2102 device to a computer running Microsoft Windows, you should install its drivers:
Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista users: Your computer should now automatically install the necessary drivers when you connect a Pololu CP2102 device. No further action from you is required.
Windows XP users: You need to follow steps 6–10 for each new device you connect to your computer.
If you now go to your computer’s Device Manager and expand the “Ports (COM & LPT)” list, you should see “Pololu USB-to-Serial Adapter” as one of the COM ports.

Some software will not allow connection to higher COM port numbers. If you need to change the COM port number assigned to your USB adapter, you can do so using the Windows device manager. Bring up the properties dialog for the “Pololu USB-to-Serial Adapter” COM port and click the “Advanced…” button in the “Port Settings” tab. From this dialog you can change the COM port assigned to your device.
To use the CP2102 on a computer running Mac OS X, you should download and install the CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers from Silicon Labs for Mac OS X.
Additionally, we have older drivers that other customers have used successfully on both PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs running OS X version 10.3.9 or later, but these probably will not work on version 10.7 or later. You can download these drivers here: OSX_cp2102_drivers.dmg (723k dmg)
Granted, it’s the kind of Blade/Buffy goth claptrap that gamers apparently like, but the cut-scenes are well done and the plot serves the gameplay, introducing new powers and weaponry as you progress. Rayne has to feed on victims to top-up her bloody health meter, which as before, involves a rather saucy embrace that’s blatantly Sapphic when performed with another female. Most satisfying, however, are the ‘carnage kills’ which involve extreme punishment for victims, including the body slice-and-smash through the window described at the start – and each gives a larger boost to Rayne’s infamous Bloodlust meter. I’m controversial”.Whereas the last game had the half-human, half-vampire Rayne fighting Nazis in 1935, BloodRayne 2 jumps forward to our time, when descendants of her father Kagan are plotting to enslave humankind, reducing them to nothing but engorged blood banks. Bloodrayne video game. Levels mainly involve beating the red cells out of various gormless AI goons by using your twin swords, kicks, a handy harpoon for dragging people off ledges or into hazards such as rotating fan blades, and the new upgradeable Carpathian Dragon dual-guns that are reloaded with the liquid red stuff.Cool new acrobatic let Rayne swing on poles and slide down rails.
Mac OS X compatibility: We have confirmed that our CP2102-based devices work on Mac OS X 10.7 and other customers have used them successfully on older versions. We can assist with advanced technical issues, but most of our tech support staff does not use Macs, so basic support for Mac OS X is limited.
Recent versions of the linux kernel include support for the CP2102 USB-to-UART Bridge Controller as part of the usb-serial driver, so your Pololu CP2102 should work right out of the box. We have verified that the CP2102 works with Ubuntu versions 7.04 and 8.04. If you experience any problems, we recommend you upgrade to the most recent version of your distribution.
