I purchased a USB2serial cable and am attempting to communicate with my panasonic plasma to perform simple functions like on/off, etc but after over an hour of googling I haven't really made it very far.
I had an old copy of hyperterminal, but that doesn't seem to be working.
Ideally, I want to be able to send COM commands through the command line to switch input and power on/off the display and then add the commands to existing scripts I've written to control my AV receiver.
Basically, I'm just looking for advice/help on how to send the command through COM port 4...
