Virtual COM port driver for serial communication

Question

I’m having trouble setting up virtual COM ports for serial communication between two applications. I’m working on Windows10. Does anyone have experience with this? Can you recommend a virtual COM port driver for this kind of setup?

Answer 1

I’ve faced similar challenges when trying to set up virtual COM ports for serial communication. At first, I tried a few free tools, but I kept running into issues, either the ports weren’t recognized by my applications, or the connection would drop randomly.

After some research, I came across https://www.virtual-serial-port.org/ and it solved all my problems. With this tool, I could create virtual COM port pairs and both of my applications recognized the ports without any trouble. What I really like about it is the stability - it ensures consistent data transfer without the random disconnects I experienced with other tools. Plus, it’s compatible with Windows 10 so you shouldn’t run into any compatibility issues.
