lock&quay Posted March 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Apparently a " Char Jen pro usbc premium hub" & a FTDI usb to rs232 adaptor will do it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 If i where you i would contact Silca and ask there advice first just in case, you dont want an expensive repair bill if something goes wrong. lock&quay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not opening up the the viper it will either communicate or not , It turns out to work fine , I got advice from my Sister who works for Microsoft & using the above lead & driver .( I don't like calling her as she laughs at my lack of computer knowledge ) ...I'm waiting for Her to get locked out one day lockdecoders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock Stock Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Your sister is right, a USB to serial adapter will work fine. It’s only send data via a cable to a port. You will just need to have the correct drivers so the usb can send data correctly. I’ve never done it on a tablet but used to have it on a pc without enough ports. lock&quay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
