![]() ![]() Our boards have silkscreen labels of where the black and. We often use right angle headers on the Arduino Pro Mini to make connecting a serial bridge trivial. This side connects to the Arduino (TTL serial UART) board. One side has a TTL-232R cable compatible 6 pin SIL, 0.1 pitch female header. This should default to 3.3V if the jumper on the back of the breakout has not been altered. The interface to this line of boards is simple. I think there is some isolation built into the FTDI chip, so these 3 connections are not causing any issues.īE ABSOLUTELY sure that both breakout and your Arduino are set for the same voltage (3.3V). Tx on one side goes to Rx on the other, and Rx on one side goes to Tx on the other. Then you would need to use 3 jumper cables (male-female) between the breakout and your Arduino serial port bits. Eliminating the need for both the serial port shield AND the dongle. Note that when using software-serial approach, the bit rate / speed of the port may be limited, since the microcontroller needs to tightly control the software timing of sending or receiving the serial bit stream.Īssuming you find a way to do 2nd serial port pins on your existing Arduino, then yes, you could use your previously shown Sparkfun FTDI breakout board, to become the serial port on the computer side via the usb cable. The shield you were looking at can do either software or hardware serial. ![]() So whatever Arduino you have, it is likely capable of software-serial. Arduino IDE -> Tools -> Port -> /dev/tty.usbserial-A9ONJH9T Arduino IDE -> Tools -> Programmer -> AVRISP mkII. ![]() It is also possible to do "software serial" ports using other pins. This table above lists 'hardware' serial ports that have timing support in the microcontroller. These are the serial ports existing on Arduino-made boards:Īs you can see the Serial0 port is usually using pins 0 and 1, and cannot be used for your "2nd serial port", because it is already devoted to uploads and log messages. ![]()
