The microcontroller project that is coming up, uses a programming cable to the PC. The standard cable uses the serial port on your PC (9 pin male). Many new PC’s don’t have a serial port but instead use a USB cable. If you need a USB cable to program the microcontroller here are some links to purchase one.
