There
will be no more stock of this item.
We
have had an order for this product, in with 4dsystems since March-2010,
and unfortunately they now tell us in September-2010, that this product
is End Of Life. What can I say!
The
possible alternatives we have can be seen at:
http://www.dontronics-shop.com/picaxe-ftdi-program.html
We
try and keep stock of the FTDI items at all times.
We
also try to keep the products from Droids (Xbee boards) in stock, however
they can experience manufacturing delay problems at times.
We
only order from Sparkfun at 3 to 6 months intervals, so these could easily
run out.
Please
send us an email if you have any questions.
Cheers
Don...

Adding
USB to your favorite micro is as simple as adding 8 pins to your target
board on a .1" grid.
Read
this review by Jonathan Oxer
Note
**** These pins are standard size .025" (wire wrap type) pins that will
fit into a breadboard or .025" socket header.
The
Micro-USB is based on Silicon
Laboratories CP2101-CP2102 I.C.'s, and has the world's smallest footprint
for this type of device.
Micro-USB
uses a standard USB B connector (same as all of the other modules that
Dontronics sells) to connect to your PC using a standard AM to BM cable,
and an 8 pin footprint at .1" centers on your target board, to allow simple
connect to your breadboard or Micro board. The CP2102 chip has a UART,
and on-board EEPROM built right it.
See
Features.
Dimensions
are as follows:
Pin1
= origin
Pin1
to Pin2 = 2.54mm or 0.1"
Pin2
to Pin3 = 2.54mm or 0.1"
Pin3
to Pin4 = 2.54mm or 0.1"
Pin4
to Pin5 = 10.16mm or 0.4"
Pin5
to Pin6 = 2.54mm or 0.1"
Pin6
to Pin7 = 7.62mm or 0.3"
Pin7
to Pin8 = 2.54mm or 0.1"
Most
USB to Micro connections will require only Ground, RX, and TX, a 3 wire
circuit. The Micro-USB ignores all of the Modem handshaking lines that
are available from the CP210x chip.
microUSB
Pin Descriptions:
Pin1
- Tx Data :
This
is the transmitted data output from the microUSB. Connect this pin to the
Receive Data Input (Rx) of your target microcontroller.
Pin2
- Rx Data :
This
is the receive data input to the microUSB. Connect this pin to the Transmit
Data Output (Tx) of your target microcontroller.
Pin3
- Suspend :
This
pin becomes high (Logic '1') when the microUSB enters the 'USB Suspend
State'. For most applications this pin can be left unconnected.
Pin4
- *Suspend :
This
pin becomes low (Logic '0') when the microUSB enters the 'USB Suspend State'.
For most applications this pin can be left unconnected.
Pin5
- *Reset :
When
this pin is driven active low from an external device for more than 15us
the microUSB module is RESET. For most applications this pin can be left
unconnected.
Pin6
- +5V :
This
pin supplies 5V to external devices from the USB bus. If this pin is used
please connect a 4.7uf to 10uf capacitor from this pin to GND.
Pin7
- +3.3V :
This
pin supplies a regulated 3.3V to external devices. Maximum of 100mA output
current is available. If this pin is used please connect a 22uf capacitor
from this pin to GND.
Pin8
- GND :
Ground.
CP2102
Features:
The
CP2102 is a single-chip USB to UART bridge that converts data traffic
between USB and UART formats.
The
chip includes a complete USB 2.0 full-speed function controller, bridge
control logic and a UART interface with transmit/receive buffers and modem
handshake signals. The device also features on-board EEPROM, a voltage
regulator, a USB transceiver and an integrated internal oscillator, eliminating
external components generally required in USB applications. System development
is further simplified by the Evaluation Kits, which include a complete
USB to RS232 evaluation board and royalty-free device drivers for PC, (Windows
98SE/2000/XP), Macintosh and Linux platforms.

Feedback to a customer having problems with a GPS system:
Please
ask John the following:
What's
the current consumption of the GPS? If it's more than 100mA he will
need to use this utility
http://www.dontronics.com/zip/microUSB%20CP210xSetIDs.zip
Is
the GPS a standard serial interface, i.e. normal RS232 voltage levels?
The
Rx/Tx signal levels from the micro-USB are 0 to 3.3V levels.
He
can try this as a quick test to see that the uUSB is working.
Attach
the anode of a LED to +3.3V - pin7 then the cathode of the led via a 1K
resistor to the Tx - pin1. Set the baud rate to say 300 or 600 baud and
use Hyperterminal or DockLight type of a serial terminal program to send
any character. Everytime a character is sent the LED should light up briefly.
I
think his problem is the GPS works on 5Volts and expects the Rx/Tx signal
levels to be at 0 to 5V and the uUSB signals are at 3.3Volts.
He
may need to insert 1K resistors in series between the GPS and the uUSB.
He
may wish to send me the data specs of the GPS and I can have a look and
see.

Atilla |
