9. USB-UART connection
Figure 9-1:
Connecting USB
cable to programming
connector
Mikromedia contains USB MINI-B connector
which is positioned next to the battery
connector. FT232RL USB-UART IC enables
you to implement UART serial communication
functionality
via
USB
cable,
since
dsPIC33FJ256GP710A
does not support
USB protocol.
Before connecting the board, make sure that you have FTDI drivers installed on
your computer. Tx/Rx LED flashes when USB and controller communicate.
