Download Multiple Usb Serial Chip
Arduino uses FTDI chips to create serial port connection between computer and the chip, so you can program the Atmel chip inside the Arduino board, without the need of any ISP programmers. If we look at the schematic of Arduino, we will see that the RX and TX pins are connected to the FTDI chip (as we expected) (on Arduino board as pin 0 and pin 1) That means we can use those pins for using the FTDI chip itself.
Buy the Arduino from: Banggood | Amazon
There are 3 ways I know you can turn your Arduino Board into a USB Serial Adapter.
1 – Connect RESET pin to GND
2 – Remove the Atmel Chip
This driver is for the CB-FTDI USB to Serial cable (CSI Part# 17394 - Black Cable). Support is for Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 32 & 64 bit. This driver is not compatible with the SC-USB Interface. Note: Install the driver before plugging the cable into your computer. CH340/CH341 USB to serial port Windows driver, includes DLL dynamic library and non-standard baud rate settings and other instructions. Supports 32/64-bit Windows 10/8.1/8/7/VISTA/XP, Server 2016/2012/2008/2003, 2000/ME/98,Microsoft WHQL Certified, supports USB to 3 and 9 wire serial ports. This resource is for PL2303TA USB to Serial/UART Bridge Controller, EOL. Click download to view the document. Mac OS X Universal Binary Driver v1.6.2 (PKG file format). Usb To Parallel Port Drivers free download - SCR3310 USB Smart Card Reader drivers, Drivers For Free, Port Detective, and many more programs.
3 – Upload a Sketch
The sketch basically stops the Atmel chip to interfere the communication between FTDI chip and your other device.
To do that, you don’t need to unplug the Atmel chip from its place. Before using your Arduino board as usb-serial converter you can upload that piece of code.
I hope it helps someone out there.

Why do you need ComTestSerial?
When you cannot get communications between your serial device and your application, you typically need to perform the following troubleshooting steps. These steps are general troubleshooting guidelines. Our experience has shown us that you can save hours and even days worth of troubleshooting if you first get an understanding of the operation of your serial device using a test program such as ComTestSerial.
Connect your serial device to a serial communications test program such as ComTestSerial.
Press the send button on your serial device to send information to ComTestSerial or send a command from ComTestSerial to your serial device.
Find the manual for your serial device to determine what the baud rate and communications parameters should be (yes, I know we all hate to read the manual!).
If you have multiple serial ports on your PC, change the serial port within ComTestSerial to determine which serial port your device is connected to.
Refer to the Help Troubleshooting Section in ComTestSerial for additional suggestions.
