The PAT is designed for Validation, Test, and Debug of USB Type-C (Power Delivery capable) power adapters. Simple and user friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) packaged with this tool enables an easy demonstration of the power adapter capabilities (PDOs). The project is coming...

UART has become a popular term with microcontroller applications, with the rise of the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other open hardware electronics. UART has become a standard for microcontrollers to communicate with each other and exchange data. A UART can be used not just for data...

avishorp has written a small program that pops up a message whenever a serial port over USB device is plugged in, that is available on GitHub (code). PopCom is a COM port plug-in/plug-out notifier. Whenever a USB device that emulates a COM port is connected to the computer, a pop-up...

A small, open, affordable USB-C power adapter tester is live on crowdsupply. We are quickly entering the age of USB Type-C. This “jack of all trades” port is appearing in more and more new electronic devices. USB Type-C helps to reduce reliance on proprietary power adapters and...

Coming soon to Crowd Supply is the ultimate USB-UART converter. μArt is a device that offers safe and reliable USB-to UART conversion. The voltage levels, electric potentials, and communication speeds are no longer a concern, and it can be used for data exchange or for Programming...

Scott W Harden writes: The FT232 USB-to-serial converter is one of the most commonly-used methods of adding USB functionality to small projects, but recently I found that these chips are capable of sending more than just serial signals. With some creative programming, individual output...

An open-source USB to CAN adapter: It supports CAN bit-rates of up to 1 Mbit/s. The product comes with an open-source SocketCAN driver software. It features a Micro-USB connector and a 4-pin screw terminal with CAN_H, CAN_L, 5-V supply, and ground. The CANable device is a hardware...

BML project for using a $2 FTDI FT260Q for adding 14 bits of GPIO to any PC via USB with no device drivers required. Ever miss the simple days of using a PC’s LPT1 parallel port to bit-bang GPIO over 8 output pins and 4 input pins of the DB-25 connector? I sure do. My first design...
