Versalent Device Programmer

PROGIT-1 WLKB232 Programmer Home

Use PROGIT-1 to connect a Versalent keyboard adapter to a PC for programming when the computer has no DB9 COM ports .. or there is no convenient way to apply power to the keyboard adapter while 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) -- most useful for models that do not offer a power-jack for wall adapter power.

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.
