Instruccions de configuració

1. Instal·lació del controlador

Before connecting the adapter to your computer, it is recommended to install the necessary drivers. This adapter uses an FTDI chip, which requires specific drivers for proper functionality.

1. Descarrega els controladors: Visit the official FTDI weblloc (www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) to download the latest Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers compatible with your operating system.
2. Instal·leu els controladors: Follow the installation instructions provided by FTDI. For Windows, this typically involves running an executable file.
3. Verifica la instal·lació: After installation, connect the adapter to your computer via a Mini USB cable. Open your computer's Device Manager (Windows) or check system information (macOS/Linux) to confirm that the FTDI device is recognized and a new COM port has been assigned.

2. Voltage Selection (3.3V / 5V)

The adapter supports both 3.3V and 5V logic levels. Select the appropriate voltage using the onboard jumper cap to match the requirements of your target device (e.g., microcontroller).

• Per a funcionament de 5 V: Place the jumper cap on the two pins labeled '5V'.
• Per a funcionament de 3.3 V: Place the jumper cap on the two pins labeled '3.3V'.

Precaució: Assegureu-vos que el volum correctetage is selected before connecting to your target device. Supplying an incorrect voltagPot danyar el dispositiu.

3. Connexió de maquinari

Connect the adapter to your target device using appropriate jumper wires. The adapter features standard pin headers for easy connection.

Typical connections are as follows:

• VCC: Connect to the power input of your target device (3.3V or 5V, depending on jumper setting).
• GND: Connect to the ground of your target device.
• TXD (Transmit Data): Connect to the RXD (Receive Data) pin of your target device.
• RXD (Receive Data): Connect to the TXD (Transmit Data) pin of your target device.
• DTR (Data Terminal Ready): Used for automatic reset on some microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino Pro Mini).
• RTS (Request To Send) / CTS (Clear To Send): Hardware flow control pins, typically not required for basic serial communication.

Instruccions de funcionament

Once the drivers are installed and the hardware is connected, you can use the adapter for serial communication.

1. Open Serial Terminal: Use a serial terminal program on your computer (e.g., Arduino IDE Serial Monitor, PuTTY, Tera Term) to communicate with your device.
2. Seleccioneu el port COM: In the serial terminal software, select the COM port assigned to the FTDI adapter (identified in Device Manager).
3. Configure Baud Rate: Set the baud rate in the serial terminal to match the baud rate configured on your target device. Common baud rates include 9600, 19200, 57600, 115200.
4. Iniciar la comunicació: You can now send and receive data between your computer and the target device. The RXD/TXD LEDs on the adapter will blink to indicate data activity.

Manteniment

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your WWZMDiB Mini USB to TTL Serial Converter Adapter, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Emmagatzematge: Store the adapter in a dry, cool environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Neteja: If necessary, gently clean the board with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or harsh chemicals.
