Lets look at the FTDI series of components for USB Interfacing. The CP210X devices are perfect for generalpurpose USB to RS-232 conversions. When it comes to the Arduino, AVR and PIC hardware platforms, the FTDI FT232R USB UART IC is a better fit. Like the Silicon Laboratories USB interface ICs, the FT232R is a single [...]
If anything working with the Arduino has thought me, is that the platforms, any of the platforms that we work with are designed to be extended and stretched to the extent of its capabilities, and when we get there, figure out a way of extending it even further. The Arduino platform community, and the very [...]
Due to other commitments, we were away for a while, and we had to put many of our projects on hold for a while, but now we are back. So stay tuned for articles, stories and new projects. And especially look out for our new projects using AVR, PIC and especially the new Audrino platform.
