2. Awọn ilana iṣeto
The waveshare USB to TTL Serial Adapter Cable is designed for plug-and-play compatibility with various operating systems including Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, Mac, Linux, and Android. Drivers for the FT232RNL chip are typically installed automatically by your operating system. If not, they can be downloaded from the FTDI webojula.
2.1. Connecting to Raspberry Pi 5
This adapter is suitable for UART debugging on Raspberry Pi devices. You can connect it using two primary methods:
- Via SH1.0 3PIN cable: Connect to the Raspberry Pi 5 UART Debug Connector.
- Via Separated 4PIN Header: Connect to the Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO UART Interface.

2.2. Pinout Definition and Voltage Level Switching
The adapter features a TTL serial port with a 3.3V/5V level translation circuit, allowing you to switch the communication level as needed for your target device. The pinouts are clearly defined:
- VCC: 3.3V or 5V output, configured by a switch on the adapter.
- GND: Asopọ ilẹ.
- TXD: Transmit Data. Connects to the MCU.RXD (signal direction: MCU.RX <-- FT232 <-- PC.TX).
- RXD: Receive Data. Connects to the MCU.TXD (signal direction: MCU.TX --> FT232 --> PC.RX).

The adapter features three LED indicators for easy monitoring of its operating status:
- PWR (Àmì Agbára): Turns on when there is a USB connection and voltage ti ri.
- TXD (Transmit Indicator): Turns on while the USB port is sending data.
- RXD (Receive Indicator): Turns on while the device port is sending data back.

5. Laasigbotitusita
If you encounter issues with your USB to TTL Serial Adapter Cable, consider the following:
- No Power Indicator (PWR LED off): Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the computer and the adapter. Try a different USB port or computer.
- No Data Transmission (TXD/RXD LEDs not blinking): Verify that the TXD and RXD pins are correctly connected to your target device's RXD and TXD pins, respectively. Check the voltage level switch (3.3V/5V) to ensure it matches your device's requirements. Confirm that the drivers are correctly installed on your operating system.
- Awọn oran Asopọmọra: Ensure your target device is powered on and functioning correctly. Check for any loose connections in the jumper wires.
