About this deal

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 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). 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. D2XX driver: The PC side will be recognized as a USB port and needs to be operated using API functions. We have had a few reports on Windows 10 where the driver will automatically install and the board will show up under a new COM port as USB-Serial CH340, but with a different device name. However, the board cannot be accessed on the Arduino IDE. Others have had issues where the installation process hangs.

Electrostatic reverse connection: When reverse voltage appears between the pins, or when subjected to electrostatic discharge, its internal circuit may be damaged. Hereafter, we’ll hook that converter to our bare PIC microcontroller and send some data using our Serial.print() function aka UART_TX()The parallel IO ports can still be used to display your data in a more convenient way such as 7-segments display as we’ve discussed earlier in this course. Or even the alphanumeric LCDs as we’ll see in the upcoming tutorials. Overvoltage and overcurrent, electrostatic reverse connection, harsh environment, electromagnetic interference, and other conditions may cause IC damage: Integrated 1024 bit internal EEPROM for I/O configuration and storing USB VID, PID, serial number and product description strings. Since 5 V is a voltage which is also suitable for a lot of low to medium power (up to a couple of Watt) electronics it was choosen to be used for USB as well. Note that the supply of USB is 5 V, the data signals use a lower voltage. Select “Port” from the on-screen menu. If the CH340 driver is not installed, Arduino IDE won’t allow you to choose COM Ports.

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. Having the ability to do so, will help you debug your code, provide visual UX for your projects, and much more.

Please note:

Open the MPLAB IDE and create a new project name it “PC_Control_USB-TTL”. If you have some issues doing so, you can always refer to the previous tutorial using the link below. At the end of the UART tutorial, you’ll have developed your own version of the following functions: UART_Init() and UART_TX() 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 The practical LAB of this tutorial is going to be a simple PC-Controlled embedded system. Which means a computer software is involved (for the PC) as long as a firmware code (for the Microcontroller). Computer Software

However, in the Embedded-C programming, you just can’t do that. Despite having your variables stored in the RAM, you still have no way to display them other than using the parallel/serial ports. Using the parallel IO ports is kind of inefficient way to do so as you’ll be unnecessarily using a whole bunch of IOs & still getting binary output which may not make that much of sense in many situations.Simply put, the CH340 driver is a piece of software that connects the CH340 chip with the computer to facilitate the chip’s communication with the PC. Q2. How do I test my CH340 driver? For those who are interested in building their own UI Serial Terminal Application, I’ve also taken this route when I was in the same situation. However, it may be unnecessarily overwhelming at this moment. You can just plan to do it in the future after getting this LAB done & tested with any terminal that works for you. Red - power. This pin provides up to 500mA current. YOU MUST NOT use other power supplies if you choose to power the target device with this Adaptor.
