The fact that both TTL and USB are based around a 5 V supply is more due to history, TTL is older and it needed 5 V due to available transistor technology (in the 1960s). UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd / even / mark / space / no parity. Wiring up this schematic on a breadboard should be an easy task. Just upload your firmware hex file to the microcontroller chip. And Open any serial terminal on your PC (the simplest way is to use the Arduino’s serial monitor). Make sure to set the baud rate to 9600 bps. You can also use my old custom-made serial monitor. And here is a video for the final output of this LAB.
PLEASE NOTE – When editing driver INF files, refer to the following document: AN_107 – Advanced Driver OptionsBelow we answer all the questions you may have about the CH340 driver for Windows 10/11. Q1. What is a CH340 driver? Electromagnetic Interference: A strong electromagnetic interference environment may affect the normal operation of the chip, causing performance problems or even damage. If you installed the drivers for the CH340 on your computer but have issues connecting via serial terminal or uploading code using the Arduino IDE, there may be an issue with your user settings preventing you from using the CH340. You may receive an avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device error similar to the output shown below. language:bash
Open the plastic case (twist the USB connector and then evenly pull apart the plastic case) and change the red wire termination from the pad marked 5V or 3V3. Supports the following Windows OS There are many options to choose from for this part. You can obviously use any serial terminal (e.g. TeraTerm) or even the simple Arduino Serial Monitor or whichever you prefer. Arduino Serial Monitor
Product Range Selector (FT232R)
Hereafter, we’ll hook that converter to our bare PIC microcontroller and send some data using our Serial.print() function aka UART_TX() Select “Port” from the on-screen menu. If the CH340 driver is not installed, Arduino IDE won’t allow you to choose COM Ports. On the other hand, the serial ports provide a convenient way to shift out your data from the RAM to another device that can display it (e.g. Desktop, Laptop, Serial LCDs, etc). And that’s what we’re going to do in this tutorial. The power pin provides the 5V @ 500mA direct from the USB port and the RX/TX pins are 3.3V level for interfacing with the most common 3.3V logic level chipsets.
For most of these operating systems two types of driver are available: Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers and direct (D2XX) drivers. The VCP driver emulates a standard PC serial port such that the USB device may be communicated with as a standard RS232 device. The D2XX driver allows direct access to a USB device via a DLL interface. Later that 5 V supply was used in almost any computer as computers are made using logic chips which need 5 V, at least the TTL ones. Even as TTL was replaced by CMOS logic large parts of computer electronics still used 5 V even though CMOS could also run on lower voltages.FT232 UART UART Board is a UART module that converts the USB interface to the TTL level. This module enables data communication by connecting the USB interface of a computer or other device to TTL logic-level devices such as microcontrollers, sensors, etc. Harsh environment: Using FT232R under high, low, or humid temperature conditions, especially without proper heat dissipation measures, may lead to chip performance degradation, short circuits, or even damage. Having the ability to do so, will help you debug your code, provide visual UX for your projects, and much more. Search automatically for updated driver software on Windows 10. On Windows 11, Search automatically for drivers. D2XX driver: The PC side will be recognized as a USB port and needs to be operated using API functions.
