WINDOWS 11 Prolific Drivers

 

What Prolific says will work for WIN11 does not. What do we do when WIN 10 goes away and we must use WIN 11 for a driver to support APRSIS32 GPS data?
 

Hmm, I manually?install the newest prolific driver and it seems to work.? I have found that the automatic?install?does not seem to work.

I thought I did it manually. Can you describe the steps you took to install the file, please?
 

I down?load the prolific drivers for the web.

I then installed them.

Now when a new prolific device is attached, it will either directly install or ask to search for the local device drivers and use the drivers I had loaded manually..

I have had trouble with Windows device driver management for prolific drivers.? It does seem to work for FTDI drivers.

I have stopped using Prolific USB to Serial anything.

What happened was that they used to work great. Then someone cloned the Prolific chip. Sometime in the life of Windows XP Prolific released a new driver that was not compatible with the pirate chips. But as a user you did not know what was the real Prolific Chip and what was the bad Prolific chip when you bought it.?

The solution was to install the old driver. But everytime Windows updated it also updated the prolific driver to the latest version, and you had to reinstall the old one. Same happened with Windows 10.

Both the bad Prolific and good Prolific run on Linux, because Prolific did not write the driver for Linux.

For me it is just easier to only use FTDI based USB to Serial adapters. That way I can switch between Linux and Windows without worrying.

I installed the FTDI D3XX drivers and am using a USB to Serial Adapter I used for a Kantronics KPC-3+ for packet. However, my date stream once it gets started consistently only show
?? "$PSKF150, 1*3E"
not the numerical lines of data I should be seeing from the GPS Receiver.

How did you configure your Windows and APRSIS32 software?

make sure baud rate and port settings are correct 4800,n,8,1 is usually the norm?

This appears to be a GPS hardware or USB interface problem.?
Not sure what APRSIS32 can do, other than be a sounding boarding to ask if anyone has it working.
Does anyone have a working Prolific Driver for Windows 11 or know how to install the Windows 10 driver on Windows 11 (and beyond)?
The other place to ask would be with the GPS or USB interface group.
