UartSBee v4.0 is FTDI cable compatible USB to Serial adapter equipped with BEE socket(20pin 2.0mm). The integrated FT232RL can be used for programming or communicating with MCUs.On the other hand, you might connect your PC to various wireless applications via a Bee compatible module. UartSBee provides breakouts for the bit-bang mode pins of FT232RL as well.This Bit-bang mode pins (8 I/O pins) can be used as a replacement for applications involving PC parallel port which is scares now a day.

Applications¶

Idatalink Weblink Updater Driver

USB – Serial Port¶

UartSBee is commonly used as USB to Serial Port (COM port) interface. This kind of configuration can be used to communicate with a MCU serial port or to program a MCU which support UART based ISP.

Windows

• In Windows OS, the first time you plug in the device, you might be asked for the driver.

Download and install the Virtual COM port driver from FTDI website :

• A wizard opens for installing the driver. Choose 'Install from a list or specific location'

• Choose the downloaded driver path

• If you have downloaded unsigned driver, the following Window appears. Just click 'Continue Anyway'

• UartSBee driver is successfully installed. Windows assigns a COM port name to FT232RL like COM10, COM11 etc... Please check the exact name in Device Manager. In this case 'COM16' is assigned for UartSBee

GNU/Linux

All modern GNU/Linux OS comes with FT232RL drivers. To check if UartSBee is detected, Issue a lsusb command. An output similar to below should appear.

Ads Weblink Usb Driver

GNU/Linux assigns /dev/ttyUSB0, /dev/ttyUSB1 etc... as device name.

To verify the working of serial port connect TxD and RxD pins of UartSBee and use a terminal application like cutecom to configure the device parameters as shown below.

Baudrate:9600, Data bits:8, Stop bits:None and no Handshake

Any character typed in terminal would be echoed back as shown.

The same functionality can be checked in Windows - Hyperterminal as well.

3.3V / 5v Power Source for MCU breadboard µCs and Programmer for µCs / CPLDs¶

Apart from 3.3V and 5V power outputs provided by UartSBee , the logic level of I/O pins can be selected for 5.0VTTL or 3.3V CMOS operations. In the below example a bread based board micro-controller application is demonstrated. A LPC1343 ARM Cortex-M3 MCU is connected to UartSBee. As this is a 3.3V device, the power toggle switch is set to 3.3V. LPC1343 can be programmed through UART. This application could be extended to any MCU / CPLDs which support UART based flashing or SPI based flashing (Needs FT232R BitBang mode).

BreadBoard Prototyping: UartSBee v3.1 acting as as 3.3V power-supply and 3.3V UART flash programming port for LPC1343.

Switch: 3.3V I/O Selected

Bee Module Interfacing for PC Wireless application¶

PC Wireless Ad-Ons

UartSBee's Bee compatible interface provided can be used to connect Bee module like XBee, Bluetooth Bee, RF Bee, Wifi Bee, **GPS Bee **to PC USB. This makes Bee based PC Wireless application easier. As most of these Bee modules support UART interface, PC programming is easy as well.

MCU Wireless Ad-Ons

This type of arrangement can be also used to interface with UART of micro-controllers (Seeeduino) .

Weblink Updater 6.3

BitBang Mode¶

An nice feature of UartSBee v3.1 compared to other FT232RL based USB-Serial devices is that all the Bit-Bang I/Os are brought to the header pins.

Bit-Bang mode is a special feature of FT232RL in which 8 I/O lines (D0 - D7) can be used as a general purpose bidirectional I/O lines. Three Bit-Bang modes are supported by FT232RL

• **Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode **

Any data written to the device is clocked to the configured output pins. The rate of data transfer is configured based on baud rate generator. In this mode any of 8 I/O lines can be configured as input or ouput.

• Synchronous Bit-Bang mode

In this mode data is sent synchronously. An input is read before an output byte is sent to the device. Hence to read input, a write operation must be performed.

• CBUS Bit-Bang Mode

This is a special mode which requires reprogramming of FT232RL EEPROM. This uses signals C0 - C3.

Bit-Bang Mode of FT232RL is well documented in the application note[1]

Table: Bit-Bang I/O Mapping

BitBang Mode Operation:

A simple Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode operation is demonstrated in the below breadboard arrangement in which DTR (D4) pin is connected to an LED. The LED blinking rate is controlled by the PC side application program.

Bit-Bang mode requires special FTDI direct driver called D2XX. This driver needs to be installed after removing the Virtual COM Port driver of FT232RL chip. In GNU/Linux this driver runs in kernel mode. As an alternative to D2XX an Free Open Source driver libFTDI is available. This works in Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS. It runs in user mode in GNU/Linux. Hence no need to remove the existing FT232RL driver.

libFTDI

libUSB libFTDI required libusb which can be downloaded from

The below example code can be compiled in the similar way as that of libFTDI example files. An easy way is to copy the contents of the below code to one of the existing example .c file and build the whole driver using

./configure

make
