4. නිෂ්පාදන අවසන්view

The FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 is a USB to serial UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) converter cable. It provides a USB-A connector on one end and a 6-pin SIL (Single In-Line) connector with 0.1" pitch on the other, offering +3.3V TTL level signals. The cable integrates an FT232R IC, handling all USB signaling and protocols.

4.1 පින්අවුට් විස්තරය

The 6-pin SIL connector provides the following signals:

Note: The VCC pin (Pin 3) provides +5V from the USB port, which can be used to power external circuitry up to 75mA. The data signals (TXD, RXD, CTS, RTS) operate at +3.3V TTL levels.

5. පිහිටුවීම

5.1 ධාවක ස්ථාපනය

The FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 cable requires specific drivers to function correctly on your computer. These drivers are often automatically installed by modern operating systems (Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux) when the cable is first connected. If automatic installation fails, or for older operating systems, manual installation may be necessary.

1. ධාවක බාගන්න: Visit the official FTDI webඅඩවිය (www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm) to download the latest Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers for your operating system.
2. ධාවක ස්ථාපනය කරන්න: Follow the instructions provided with the downloaded driver package. This typically involves running an executable file or following on-screen prompts.
3. කේබල් සම්බන්ධ කරන්න: Plug the USB-A end of the TTL-223R-3V3 cable into an available USB port on your computer.
4. ස්ථාපනය සත්‍යාපනය කරන්න:
   • වින්ඩෝස්: Open Device Manager (search for "Device Manager" in the Start menu). Look under "Ports (COM & LPT)" for an entry like "USB Serial Port (COMx)", where 'x' is a number.
   • මැකෝස්: Open Terminal and type ls /dev/tty.usbserial*. You should see an entry corresponding to the cable.
   • ලිනක්ස්: Open Terminal and type ls /dev/ttyUSB*. You should see an entry corresponding to the cable.

5.2 Connecting to a Target Device

Connect the 6-pin SIL connector to your target device's UART interface. Ensure correct pin alignment:

• Connect the cable's TXD (Pin 4) to the target device's RXD.
• Connect the cable's RXD (Pin 5) to the target device's TXD.
• Connect the cable's GND (Pin 1) to the target device's GND.
• If hardware flow control is used, connect CTS (Pin 2) to target's RTS සහ RTS (Pin 6) to target's CTS.
• If powering the target device from the cable, connect the cable's VCC (Pin 3) to the target device's +5V input (ensure the target device can accept 5V and its current draw does not exceed 75mA).

අවවාදයයි: Always double-check the pinout of your target device to avoid damage due to incorrect connections.

6. මෙහෙයුම් උපදෙස්

Once the drivers are installed and the cable is connected to your target device, you can use a serial terminal program to communicate.

1. Open Terminal Program: Use a serial terminal application such as PuTTY (Windows), CoolTerm (macOS/Windows), or Minicom/screen (Linux).
2. COM තොට තෝරන්න: In the terminal program settings, select the COM port number identified during driver installation (e.g., COM3, /dev/ttyUSB0).
3. අනුක්‍රමික සැකසුම් වින්‍යාස කරන්න:
   • බෝඩ් අනුපාතය: Set to match your target device's baud rate (e.g., 9600, 115200, up to 3MBaud).
   • දත්ත බිටු: සාමාන්යයෙන් 8
   • සමානාත්මතාවය: කිසිවක් නැත
   • බිටු නවත්වන්න: සාමාන්යයෙන් 1
   • ප්රවාහ පාලනය: None, or Hardware (RTS/CTS) if enabled on your target device.
4. සම්බන්ධතාවය ස්ථාපිත කරන්න: Open the serial connection in your terminal program. You should now be able to send and receive data from your target device.

7. නඩත්තු කිරීම

• පිරිසිදු කිරීම: කේබලය සහ සම්බන්ධක පිරිසිදු කිරීමට මෘදු වියළි රෙද්දක් භාවිතා කරන්න. දියර පිරිසිදු කරන්නන් හෝ ද්‍රාවක භාවිතා නොකරන්න.
• ගබඩා: Store the cable in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tangling the cable.
• පරීක්ෂාව: Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires, bent pins, or cracked insulation. Discontinue use if damage is found.

  • ඔබේ පරිගණකය නැවත ආරම්භ කරන්න.
  • Check the cable for physical damage.
• No Data Transmission/Reception:
  • Verify the pinout connections between the cable and your target device (TXD to RXD, RXD to TXD, GND to GND).
  • Confirm that the serial settings (baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control) in your terminal program match those of your target device.
  • Ensure the target device is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Check if the target device's UART is enabled and configured.
• අතරමැදි සම්බන්ධතාවය:
  • Check for loose connections at both the USB and 6-pin ends.
  • Avoid electromagnetic interference from other devices.
  • Ensure the cable is not excessively bent or stressed.
