USB to TTL serial cables allow you to connect to your Raspberry Pi or microcontroller serial console port.

The main body has a USB serial conversion chip, and the other end has four wires to hook up to your target board:

  • Red = power
  • Black - GND
  • White = RX (into USB port)
  • Green = TX (out of USB port)

The power pin provides 5V 500mA direct from the USB port and the RX/TX pins are 3.3V for interfacing with most common 3.3V logic level chipsets.

The split jumper wires make it easy to hook up to a Raspberry Pi's debug console. Just connect the wires to the correct pins to set up a link to your board. You can even use these cables on some WiFi routers to install alternative operating systems.

This cable is not for Arduino re-programming - it does not have the DTR/RTS wire necessary for initiating the bootloader reboot sequence. Use FTDI instead.

Resources

If you are running Linux, drivers are already included in the kernel, no need to install anything!

Revision History

  • As of December 2016 we will be shipping cables with SiLabs CP2012 chipset instead of Prolific

USB to TTL Serial Cable for Raspberry Pi
I haven't used it yet. Part of the reason for this is that there were no instructions supplied. There are 4 pin connectors supplied. For RS485 I only need 2 pins (plus maybe an earth). Which two should I use, and which way round?

Didn’t work at first, ask for help by email twice but no response, reverse two wires and it finally worked!

Did exactly what it said on the website. Plugged in and reprogrammed the MCU within minutes of receiving cable.

Works brilliant on Win 10 after downloading driver from Silicon Labs web site and liked the fact that the free ends came with pin connectors fitted making hook-up very easy. Good product, good price!

Works correctly. I was able to flash Ubiquiti router with it. The pins are not labelled though and had to go back to product description to find out.
