*UC00A is now in Rev3.0
No more level shifter is necessary for PC to Microcontroller communication!
Serial communication is the most popular interface between the device and this applies to microcontroller and computer. UART is one of those serial interfaces. Classically, the most serial interface from a microcontroller to a computer is done through serial port (DB9). However, since computer serial port used RS232 protocol and microcontroller used TTL UART, a level shifter is needed between these interfaces. Recently, the serial port of computer have been phasing out, it has been replaced with USB. Of course, the most developer chooses USB to serial converter to obtain virtual serial port. The level shifter is still necessary for UART interface. Thus, Cytron decided to develop a USB to UART converter which offers USB plug and play, direct interface with a microcontroller and it provides low current 5V supply from the USB port.
UC00A are compatible with Window XP, Vista, 8, 10, Win7 (32-bit and 64-bit) and it appears as Virtual COM port on the computer.
USB micro B cable is not included.
