To test my luck, I installed the device on my wife's Windows 10 computer with the same result - works perfectly.
Don't let you heart skip a beat. With both installations the Device Manager showed the presence of the TU-S9, but when I clicked on "properties," the message came up that the driver wasn't present. In both installations, after shutting down Windows Device Manager and starting it again, it identified the presence of the TU-S9 (this time identifying the com port) and everything worked perfectly from there.
The Karmic RC of Ubuntu I'm using supports this adapter very well; I plugged it in and by the time I could type "sudo chmod a+wrx /dev/tty" and press the tab button, ttyUSB0 already existed and was ready to use (so yes, I ran the command "sudo chmod a+wrx /dev/ttyUSB0" to give the "other" group read/write access.)
From there it was just a matter of changing the baud to match the jumpers on the robot arm's controller (sudo stty -F /dev/ttyUSB0 115200), then using "man stty" to read up on the rest of the possible flags and change them until "sudo stty -a -F /dev/ttyUSB0" would give an output including the following: "-parenb -parodd cs8 hupcl -cstopb cread clocal -crtscts
-ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl ixon -ixoff
-iuclc -ixany -imaxbel -iutf8
opost -olcuc -ocrnl onlcr -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel nl0 cr0 tab0 bs0 vt0 ff0
isig icanon iexten echo echoe echok -echonl -noflsh -xcase -tostop -echoprt
echoctl echoke"
(It's possible it'll work even if not all the flags match the above exactly; I just know that this is how I have mine set.)
I have to thank my professor for pointing out the stty command's usefulness, and I won't post any of his matlab code. But the point is that this thing works, and didn't require any crazy linux know-how or compiling anything.
I'm assuming it would work just as well in Windows or Mac.
