Learning Serial Communication
Posted October 29, 2011 by Chris
“This morning I decided its about time I learnt how to use the UART hardware in most PIC micro- controllers. I started off with a USB-RS-232 converter that I got for US$3 from DealExtreme.” A good look at how to hack a USB-to-Serial converter to mess around with a PIC’s UART module.

hey hi can u tell me what chip is used in that above blue(usb to serial) adapter. is it FT232RL?
November 24th, 2012 at 6:12 am
No its a Prolific PL2303 afaik 🙂
but you could use an FT232RL just the same, it’d actually be easier
