USB to RS232 Converter -  Why build my own USB to RS232 converter when there are adapters already available from many suppler? The Answer is simple: Neither the strand "USB to RS232 converter" actually worked *properly* with all the devices I tried. But, They did not seem to support ALL the RS232 lines. The USB to RS232 converter using the FT8U232AM and a Maxim-IC MAX235 . . . 

 

USB to RS232 Dongle -  With serial and parallel ports being phased out on new computers, hardware designers and hobbyists have no choice but to convert the USB port back to RS232 serial. FTDI have a very nice chip that does just that, the FT232AM. This chip converts USB to a standard high-speed serial port. The bonus with FTDI is the drivers are already written for you. All you have to do is design the hardware and download the serial USB drivers from FTDI's web site. . . . 

USB to Serial Adapter RS-232 -  USB to Serial Adapter RS-232 Serial Port to USB The USB to Serial adapter (converter) lets you use a serial PDA, GPS, cell, etc. with a standard USB port. This adapter is the easiest way to add a serial port to your computer. Many PDAs, digital cameras, GPS units, barcode scanners, and other equipment require a serial connection, and many newer computers don't have serial ports. . . . 

USB to Serial Interface -  USB to serial interface is based on the powerful FT232 chip from FTDI. It enables very easy connection of the user's application to the PC via the USB port, without necessity of any deep knowledge about the complicated USB problems. FT232 chip is capable to transfer data at speeds up to 1M Baud in RS232 mode and up to 3M Baud in the RS485 mode. Schematic contains the on-board serial EEPROM (93LC46) for storing the ID data (VID, PID, serial number and description strings). . . . 

 

USB/TTL Serial Cable: Extension & Supplement -  Two years ago, I presented here the USB/TTL serial conversion cables from FTDI — wonderful communication and debugging tools. The increasingly frequent use of ARM. must register on this site. . .  [Published in Elecktor July/Augu, 2010]

 

USB: a Neat Package with a FeW Loose Ends -  10/24/96 EDN Design FeatureThe USB for PCs can automatically configure and power peripherals. But, as I learned in this hands-on project, early USB adopters may face a substantial system-level design effort. They also need to carefully examine USB data-. . .  [by Richard A Quinnell, Technical EDFtor]

 

USB-AVR 323 Board -  schematic for an ATMega323 boards The main interface to this board is USB via the FTDI USB-Serial converter chip. . . 

 

USB-LCD with PIC MicroController & FT232 -  USB LCD/VFD Controller is a HD44870 based LCD/VFD controller via USB interface. The control command is compatible with Matrix-Orbital's LCD module. So, you can use any MO friendly software to control this baby. Such as LCDCThe firmware are based on David Potter's Serial LCD/VFD Display, but I almost rewrite the entire code. . . . 

 

USB-PC 8-CH Power Switch -  PowerSwitch provides 8 bits of parallel output intended to switch e. g. the power supply to electronic devices. The PowerSwitch firmware is accompanied by a command line tool for Unix to control the device. (The command line tool can also be compiled on Windows using minGW and libusb-win32. ). . . . 

 

USB-Powered Lithium-Ion Battery Charger -  With a maximum power rating 5. 25V/500 mA, the USB power bus is a great source for charging a single-cell Lithium-Ion battery. The circuit in Figure 1 shows how to build a USB-powered single-cell Li-Ion battery charger using National Semiconductor LM3622 Li-Ion Battery Charger Controller. . . . 

 

VHDL program enables PCI bus arbiter core -  09/13/07  EDN Design Idea   A simple VHDL program enables microprocessors or DSPs to act as PCI-bus masters. . .  [by Antonio Di Rocco, Selex Communications, Chieti, Italy]

Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensor with USB -  this project is based on obdev's RemoteSensor example and their firmware-only USB implementation; the main change is the replacement of the analog sensors with a Sensirion SHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor. . . 

 

Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensor with USB Interface -  This project is based on obdev's RemoteSensor example and their firmware-only USB implementation; the main change is the replacement of the analog sensors with a Sensirion SHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor. . . . 

 

XSPIII Cable Interface -  that configures the CPLD so it emulates a Xilinx Parallel Cable III interface. This allows you to use the WebPACK programming tools through the simple XESS downloading cable. . . .  [Application Note by D. Vanden Bout]

 

XY Keypad uses µC's Serial Port -  10/10/96 EDN Design Idea   Interfacing an X-Y keypad to a microcontroller usually uses a parallel port of 8 bits or more. But with the circuit shown in Figure 1, a more efficient interface using a microcontroller's serial port reduces the number of connect. . .  [by James Mears, National Semiconductor, Tacoma, WA]
