CP2102-based USB/TTL serial converter with microUSB socket and 6-pin right-angle header
Note: that there is a separate CP2102 that comes with jumper cable, 5-pin header and a regular USB connector. This is used for other projects and the respective details can be found here: http://www.siliconchip.com.au/Shop/7/3437
A small USB/serial converter module with a microUSB connector - no cable included. Can be used to build the Touchscreen Appliance Energy Meter or to add a USB port to another project which uses an RS-232 TTL serial interface.
Modern operating systems like Windows 10 should not require any drivers to use this device - plug it in and it should be recognised and ready to use straight away.
We have only tested this adaptor in Windows; it should work with Linux and Mac OSX.
Please note: we have had reports that the 3.3V output is actually closer to 4.2V. You should check this voltage before connecting anything critical.
