9.0. USB UART Module
When the USB UART module is used, it is possible to connect the microcontroller on the development system to the external USB
device. The USB UART module features the FT232RL circuit which serves as an interface between a USB device and the microcon-
troller’s serial UART module. In order to establish connection between the microcontroller and the USB UART module it is necessary
to place jumpers J16 and J17 as shown in Figure 9-2, thus connecting RX-MCU and TX-MCU pins of the circuit FT232RL to the
microcontroller pins PD0 and PD1.
When connecting the UART module to the microcontroller it is necessary to combine the transmit and receive lines, i.e. to connect
the UART module’s RX pin to the microcontroller pin TX and the UART module’s TX pin to the microcontroller pin RX. Otherwise, it
wouldn’t be possible to connect the UART module’s transmit line (TX) to the microcontroller transmit line (TX). It further means that
the microcontroller wouldn’t be able to receive and transmit data.
