#72996 Hi guys

I have one device(scale) which uses a RS-232 Serial (DB9 port) and by using Serial to USB cable I am able to send commands in Windows.
Now what I would like to do is to connect my scale (documentation : https://rinlive.rinstrum.com/images/newsjan16/R300-682-100-M02.pdf)
to ESP8266.
Now can I use something like this(https://www.sparkfun.com/products/4497) to achieve my goal?
So that I connect my scale with serial cable to this sparkfun product and after that use TX/RX which I can connect to my ESP8266?

End result should be something like this : http://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?t=8717
