  • A brief demo of a low-cost USB to serial adapter. Based on the FTDI FT232R IC, this item facilitates serial communications between a USB port on a PC, and a standalone or embedded UART.

    I have no idea what I just watched but I was fascinated the whole time. I can't even begin to understand this but I can absolutely appreciate the work that went into it :)

    Man this video is so cool. Right now i dive a bit deeper into hardware and tried to understand better how to use an oscilloscope and this is such a good example. You should probably make a little prequel video where you explain how the binary system works. Then even tech / computer novice would understand this.
    Great job! Thank you very much!

      That is a great suggestion, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

      Thank you for your kind words. I bought this Keysight scope, factory reconditioned, for $200 about five years ago. Its a nice entry-level, hobbyist/student grade instrument, works great and has never given me any trouble. We have Tektronix scopes where I work that were $20k or more!

    Question: could I use this code to test homemade cables with any baud rate? I’m making a homemade serial cable which goes from an rs232 db9 female connection to an idc10 female connection which will be used to program an older fire alarm control unit I got for free when it was removed from a building during a system renovation. I want to make sure the cable doesn’t distort, corrupt, or not properly send data through it. I’m currently using a terminal app (PuTTY) which is basically a hyper terminal clone to test but I’m still not 100% sure if it will guarantee that the data I’m sending through the cable is being properly transmitted.

      I don’t see why not, if the Arduino can read back the characters it is sending out it is a good sign.

    hello sir, thank you for your video, that helps me a lot. I have a question sir, the rate on the oscilloscope in the video is 9.6khz, but I need the rate to reach 10M. Does it need to use synchronous communication? Thank you sir

    • @NetworkXIII
      @NetworkXIII  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I believe my baud rate was 9600bps, you can increase the baud rate but there is a limit, though I’m not sure what it is. The datasheet for the FTDI chip will have that information.

    That digital signal can be used like a normal current to active an interruptor in an electrical circuit?

    • @NetworkXIII

      You could buffer the output and drive a FET or a relay with it

    Hello sir, great video. I have a usb to ftdi and i tried to connect TX with RX, send and received the packages. So i suppose it is working correctly. I would like to use it to program my car LPG ECU, i downloaded a software i found online for my lpg brand but i got no connection. Any suggestions?

    • @NetworkXIII
      @NetworkXIII  ปีที่แล้ว

      Make sure that your target device is compatible with +3.3V or +5V logic, and maybe check the integrity of your signals at the target and host with an oscilloscope. Your baud rates also need to match between target and host. Let me know if you get it working.

    can I use FTDI as a very-fast-switch? for morse code example,
    concept like this:
    short 0 / S0 = OFF for 0.5 sec
    long 0 / L0 = OFF for 5 sec
    short 1 / S1 = ON for 0.25 sec
    long 1 / L1 = ON for 1 sec
    so lets say,
    L0 S1 S0 L1 L0 = .- = A
    L0 L1 S0 S1 S0 S1 S0 S1 L0 = -... = B
    L0 L1 S0 S1 S0 L1 S0 S1 L0 = -.-. = C
