Does anyone have any experience with it?

I've recently started working at the Center for Biorobotics in Tallinn University of Technology and we need to use this to get the data of an experiment we'll be doing on Friday.

The project I'm working on is to make an affordable autonomous underwater vehicle capable of going to ship wrecks and exploring them safely.

Here's a sample video of a small model:



The problem I'm having is that, while my laptop works perfectly for Serial Comm port, it can't really be taken to the experiment since it's battery only lasts around 20 minutes.

I tried it with my new tablet/notebook , which would last a good 8 hours. However, since it's got Windows 8.1, the drivers for the prolific serial comm port don't work.
I've researched the problem a little and found others are having the same issue with windows 8.

Does anyone have any experience with such things and their drivers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it's the USB one.

Thanks for the link, but there it just says Windows 8/8.1 is not supported. And I had already previously installed those drivers that they list there without success. I tried it again and the result is the same.

I use one all the time, i got drivers with a CD when i bought the adapter. PM me for info where i bought it etc. (SINCE I GOT A WARNING LAST TIME I POSTED A LINK TO SOMETHING)
