Even though there is a DB9 port on there, I think the DB9 interfaces to an OBD connector, not a standard serial port. When the board is plugged in, it will emulate a serial port through the USB interface by using the CDC driver, but it isn't a converter. In other words, this board will not add a (useable) serial port to your computer. But it could be adapted to do so. Still a good find. I've created so many USB-UART and OBD interfaces for customers, it's always nice to see another. Are you sure the project you’ve linked to is a simple RS232 to USB converter?
