Versalent Device Programmer

PROGIT-1 WLKB232 Programmer Home

Use PROGIT-1 to connect a Versalent keyboard adapter to a PC when the computer has no DB9 COM ports .. or there is no convenient way to apply power to the keyboard adapter during programming. See how to use it

Provides a COM port for computers that do not offer one
Generates/applies power to WLKB232 (taken from the USB host)

PROGIT-1 is a small low-cost programmer that provides quick and easy power and communications connections for programming Versalent WLKB232 and PS2PRO/X devices. A computer COM port, and custom power-tapped cable & external power supply is no longer needed -- just a PROGIT-1 and USB cable. Operation is fully integrated into Versalent programming applications, and devices are power-protected by active current limiting. (PROGIT-1 provides a USB COM port and power.)

PROGIT-1 auto-adjusts the applied voltage/current-limit based on the model number selected, so after model selection it is ready to go. LEDs show active power, RS232 communications activity and current-limiting status. On-screen indicators also show voltage applied and current limit status.

Works with all types and models of Versalent keyboard adapters.

NOTES:

Versalent devices can be programmed without the use of this programmer, however many newer computers do not offer the required COM port.
Power must be applied to a device being programmed which can be difficult for devices without a power jack... PROGIT-1 solves that by generating the needed power from its USB connection.

4-30V models 124,126,144,146 can now use PROGIT-1 under these conditions:
- A USB keyboard must NOT be plugged into the unit being programmed.
- The configuration software must be running and the model number selected .. BEFORE the WLKB232 is plugged into PROGIT-1.
Win11 issues: Win11 computers generally offer no COM port connectors, and no drivers for serial (COM) ports. COM port drivers can be downloaded/installed in WIN11 as described on several internet sites such as here

PROGIT-1 .. provides USB serial port and power for Versalent device programming

DESCRIPTION

PROGIT-1 is a 2.6" X 1.7" X 0.8" module which simplifies programming connections for all Versalent keyboard adapters. It provides device power from the USB port, and simultaneously provides the USB-RS232 port for communications. No more cable adapters, external power supplies, or DB9 COM port needed. Just plug PROGIT-1 into your PC with a USB cable, plug the device-to-program into PROGIT-1, and run the programming application.
