USB to RS232 Serial Convertor Module

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple to use USB to Serial Converter. It outputs RS232 level signals on the TX and the RX line. Unlike the cheap converters available in the market, which rarely work, if at all, this converter is highly reliable and can be used on all major operating systems, computers and laptops.

This converter is USB powered and needs no external power. It can provide the USB port's 5V power supply to an external circuit. You can also get TTL level RX and TX signals from the header pins on the board. The board has standard 3 mm mounting holes for easy mounting.

When connected to USB port this converter sets up a virtual serial port which can be used and interfaced just like any normal serial port. You can use this board with all our development boards to do serial communication through USB. You can also program our development boards, which support serial boot loading, through USB using this converter.

This USB to Serial converter uses the popular CP2102 IC from SiliconLabs for the USB conversion. This board can be used on all major operating systems.

Note : You will require USB A to B cable for connecting the Module to your PC or Laptop. The cable is not provided with this module.
