4. Орнотуу жана драйверди орнотуу

4.1 Драйверди орнотуу

The DSD TECH SH-U09C adapter uses a genuine FTDI FT232RL or FT232RNL chip. Most modern operating systems, including Windows 10, Windows 11, and recent versions of Mac OS and Linux, will automatically install the necessary drivers when the adapter is first connected to a USB port. If automatic installation does not occur, or if you encounter issues, you can manually download the latest FTDI VCP (Virtual COM Port) drivers from the official FTDI webсайт (ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/).

  • Windows: Download the appropriate VCP driver for your Windows version (32-bit or 64-bit). Follow the installation instructions provided by FTDI.
  • MacOS: Download the VCP driver for Mac OS. Installation typically involves running an installer package.
  • Linux: FTDI VCP drivers are usually included in the kernel. If not, consult your distribution's documentation or the FTDI webконкреттүү нускамалар үчүн сайт.

4.2 Адаптерди туташтыруу

  1. Компьютерге туташуу: Plug the USB-A connector of the SH-U09C adapter into an available USB port on your computer. The power LED on the adapter should illuminate.
  2. Identify COM Port: After driver installation, the adapter will appear as a Virtual COM Port (VCP) in your computer's Device Manager (Windows) or /dev/ttyUSBx (Linux/Mac OS). Note the assigned COM port number for use with your serial terminal software.
  3. Connect to Target Device: Use the provided jumper wires to connect the appropriate pins of the SH-U09C to your target microcontroller or device. Ensure correct pin mapping (TX to RX, RX to TX, GND to GND, and VCC if powering the device).

5. Pin Definition and Voltage Тандоо

The SH-U09C adapter provides a 6-pin header with the following definitions:

  • VCC: Power output (selectable 3.3V or 5V)
  • GND: Жер
  • TXD: Transmit Data (output from adapter, connects to RXD of target device)
  • RXD: Receive Data (input to adapter, connects to TXD of target device)
  • RTS: Request To Send (flow control)
  • CTS: Clear To Send (flow control)

5.1 VCC Voltage Тандоо

The adapter features a jumper to select the VCC output voltage 3.3V жана 5V ортосунда. туура томду камсыз кылууtage is selected before connecting to your target device to prevent damage.

  • Тандоо үчүн 5V VCC чыгышы, place the jumper on the pins labeled "5V".
  • Тандоо үчүн 3.3V VCC чыгышы, place the jumper on the pins labeled "3V3".

6. Иштөө нускамалары

Once the drivers are installed and the adapter is connected to your target device with the correct voltage selected, you can begin serial communication using a terminal program on your computer.

  1. Open Terminal Software: Launch your preferred serial terminal software (e.g., PuTTY, Tera Term, CoolTerm, Arduino Serial Monitor).
  2. Configure Port Settings:
    • Select the COM port identified in Device Manager (e.g., COM3, COM4, /dev/ttyUSB0).
    • Set the Baud Rate to match your target device's serial communication speed (e.g., 9600, 115200).
    • Configure Data Bits, Parity, and Stop Bits (commonly 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).
    • Set Flow Control (usually "None" unless your application requires RTS/CTS).
  3. Байланыш түзүү: Open the serial connection in your terminal software.
  4. Monitor and Transmit Data: You should now be able to send and receive data from your target device. The TX and RX LEDs on the SH-U09C adapter will flash during data transmission and reception, respectively.
