Testimonials


"You have a great product.  Plugged it in and it worked right out of the box.., on the first try. Thanks for saving my old serial port devices in a world that thinks newer is better.  I am glad there are people like you who provide the compatibility that the industry doesn't care about anymore."

This USB to TTL converter is a port-powered bi-directional USB to TTL / CMOS 5v converter, which can be used to convert any standard full-duplex USB port into a full-duplex TTL port and vice versa.

The unit is powered from the USB port and it supports data auto-sensing & self-adjusting, and therefore, no baud rate setting is required.

The unit uses the latest FTDI chipset and is fully compatible with Windows 7/Vista/XP/Server2008/ Server2003/2000/98 (32-bit), Windows 7/Vista/XP/ Server2008/Server2003 (64-bit), Win CE, Mac, and Linux.

TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR USB TO TTL CONVERTER

1) Driver installation
USB driver installation
Make sure that the USB-TTL converter is connected to your USB port, and the driver is installed correctly (as shown above); otherwise, please reinstall the driver (refer to user manual for details).
2) Port power measurement
USB to TTL converter 5v
Measure pin +5V and GND with a voltmeter, and be sure that it is around +5VDC (when USB port is connected).
 
3) Loopback Test
USB to TTL Converter
  • Connect a USB-TTL converter to your PC's USB port and short TX and RX on the TTL terminal block (as shown above).
  • Run 232Analyzer FREE version software on your computer.
  • Select "ASCII" for both the Send and Receive data formats. Then send command and/or string such as "CommFront" from the 232Analyzer software. You should receive an echo of the command/string sent ("CommFront"). By performing a simple loopback test like this, you can test both the transmitter and receiver of the converter. This is very helpful when you are in doubt about the performance of your converter.
