I would imagine you should be able to use a standard USB to RS-232 cable to connect your PC to this board and run the IDE. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Chipset%EF%BC%8CDB9-Serial-Converter-Windows/dp/B0759HSLP1/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImbT6kZqS-gIVVRPUAR3O8ghjEAAYAiAAEgLQRPD_BwE&hvadid=616991151581&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9032174&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=3292354956666558709&hvtargid=kwd-22222001&hydadcr=24663_13611861&keywords=rs232+to+usb&qid=1663087099&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1 Look at the big IC to find out what processor it is so you can choose a compatible board.

RS232 serial port.

Assuming your PC doesn't have one, you can probably get a USB-to-RS232 adapter off Amazon.

You may need a null modem adapter, or at the very least a gender adapter.

As far as DNC goes, you'll need preferably an RS232>USB adapter.

Depends on if your controller has a 9Pin or 25 Pin Serial Connector. If it's a 9pin, all you need is something like this and a terminal program.

I use CADEM's DNC lite it's free and has worked on every windows machine I've thrown at it. I haven't found a solution for linux yet.

If it's a 25pin connector, you can still use that 9pin>usb cable, but you would need an adapter, and to custom wire the pinouts on that adapter. I bought this and It works out of the box.

Yes, a null modem cable is the first part which you have. You now need a serial port to connect it to. If you don't have a real hardware port, you need a USB->serial.

FTDI chipset works great. Older Prolific mostly works.

Now you have a complete path. Then you use a terminal program, I like Putty, and serial with 9600 baud, 8, none, 1, and no flow control to the device.
