South Georgia | I have an EZ-steer that I bought used a while back with an EZ Guide Plus driving it. Now I want to update it to work with an EZ Guide 500 that I just bought from another AgTalker. Okay, I searched Trimble's website, and this website, and I think I've learned that the ONLY way to update it is from a laptop (not through the 500, like you can update EZ-Boom), and it takes a serial cable. Okay, that's all fine and well, except... My laptop doesn't have a serial port. I got all the USB ports in the world, but no serial port. So, what's the workaround? I see on Amazon that there are USB-to-serial cables. Will one of those work? If so, what gender does the serial end need to be? Yes, I could go look, but that tractor's not close by, and if y'all say that this will work, I'm going to order the cable tonight.
I have EZ Toolbox and the new firmware on the computer, what else do I need to know? Is it reasonably self-explanatory?
Thanks for any tips, I really appreciate it.
