3.2 Koneksi Perangkat Keras
- Hubungkan ke PC: Use the provided USB-B cable to connect the converter to a USB port on your computer. The PWR indicator LED should light up, indicating power.
- Select Operating Voltage: Use the onboard toggle switch (labeled 5V/3V3) to select the appropriate operating voltage (3.3V or 5V) for your target device. Ensure this matches the voltage requirements of the device you are connecting to prevent damage.
- Pilih Mode Pengoperasian: Configure the DIP switches (S1, S2) on the back of the device to select the desired communication mode. Refer to the table below for mode configurations:
Table 3.1: Operating Mode Selection Mode (M0-M3) S2 S1 Fungsi M0 MATI MATI UART0 + UART1 M1 MATI ON UART1 + I2C + SPI M2 ON MATI UART1 + I2C + SPI M3 ON ON UART1 + JTAG - Connect Target Device: Use the appropriate jumper wires to connect the converter's interface pins (UART0, UART1, I2C, SPI, JTAG) to your target device according to the selected mode. Pay close attention to pin assignments (VCC, GND, TXD, RXD, SCL, SDA, SCK, MISO, MOSI, CS, TDI, TDO, TCK, TMS, TRST).

4. Petunjuk Pengoperasian
Once the hardware is connected and drivers are installed, you can begin using the converter for communication with your target device.
4.1 Lampu Indikator
The converter features several indicator lights to provide feedback on its status:
- PWR: Power indicator, lights up when the USB is connected and voltage terdeteksi.
- RXD1: UART1 receiving indicator, lights up when the device sends data back.
- TXD1: UART1 sending indicator, lights up when the USB port sends data.
- RXD0: UART0 receiving indicator, lights up when the device sends data back.
- TXD0: UART0 sending indicator, lights up when the USB port sends data.
4.2 Using UART Interfaces
In M0 mode (UART0 + UART1), both UART channels are active. Use a serial terminal program on your computer to communicate. Configure the baud rate, data bits, parity, and stop bits to match your target device. The converter supports baud rates up to 9Mbps with hardware flow control (CTS/RTS).
4.3 Using I2C and SPI Interfaces
In M1 or M2 mode (UART1 + I2C + SPI), you can utilize the I2C and SPI interfaces. Dedicated software tools or custom scripts are typically used to interact with I2C EEPROMs, OLEDs, sensors, or SPI slave devices. The SPI interface provides two chip select pins (CS0, CS1) for controlling multiple slave devices.
4.4 Using JTAG Antarmuka
In M3 mode (UART1 + JTAG), the JTAG interface is enabled. This is primarily used for debugging and testing microcontrollers or FPGAs. Tools like OpenOCD can be used in conjunction with the JTAG interface. Users should verify compatibility and functionality with their specific JTAG debugging setup.
