Is there any way to convert the LK204-25-WB-VPT's serial I/O to USB :-? ?

1=+5V, 2=Data-, 3=Data+, 4=Ground

According to the diagram, the LCD uses only 4 pins from the serial connector, so I suppose it could be rather easy to connect the four cables to their respective Motherboard USB pins.

I've got two questions:

Could it be possible to do it?
If so, Data+ corresponds to Data FROM or TO the lcd?

Thanks in advance 8),

No! you can't connect your lcd that way...

the serial and USB protocol and speed are not the same...
I know that are USB--)Serial converter but I don't think that it exist for serial--)USB...

Hello...

If you want to use your serial display and connect it to a USB port on your computer this can be done via a USB/Serial converter...
