Serial Port Settings
The default serial port settings for the board are:
Baud 115,200
Bits 8
Parity N
Stop Bits 1
Handshake None
Standard FTDI Cable
The debug cable is a standard FTDI to TTL cable. Make sure you get the 3.3V version. You can purchase this from several different sources including but not limited to:
Pin 1 on the cable is the black wire and connects to pin 1 on the board, the pin with the white dot next to it.
Adafruit 4 Pin Cable (CP2102)
One is from *Adafruit. Originally this is a Prolific chipset based cable, as of Dec. 21, 2016 we will be shipping cables with SiLabs CP2012 chipset instead of Prolific.
Board | Cable |
---|---|
Pin 1 (GND) | Black (GND) |
Pin 4 (RX) | Green (TX) |
Pin 5 (TX) | White (RX) |
NOTE:
You will also find an extra RED wire on this cable that supplies 5V @ 500mA which could power the board if connected to one of the VDD_5V pins (P9_05, P9_06). Just leave it unconnected.
FTDI 3 Pin Cable
You can purchase the another version direct from *FTDI
This cable only has three wires for connection. You can find the datasheet and a picture at *Cable
Board | Cable |
---|---|
Pin 1 (GND) | Black (GND) |
Pin 4 (RX) | Orange (TX) |
Pin 5 (TX) | Yellow (RX) |
Olimex 3 Pin Cable (PL2303) (Discontinued)
A third version is sold by *Olimex
Board | Cable |
---|---|
Pin 1 (GND) | Blue (GND) |
Pin 4 (RX) | Red (TX) |
Pin 5 (TX) | Green (RX) |
