From my point of view, though, I don’t want to try to debugging over the serial port ... the IDE examples. Be sure to pick “Upload Method: STLink” from the Tools menu of the Arduino IDE.

So let’s say your using an Arduino in your project. You already have the hardware-based serial interface working with one portion of the project and need a second serial port for unrelated hardware.

Arduino enthusiasts searching for an isolated USB to UART converter specifically designed for the Arduino Pro mini may be interested in a new piece of hardware created by Simone based in Italy.

The need for a second UART port ( and one that is not shared with USB) on the Arduino Uno is so great that the “SoftwareSerial” library in included in the Arduino IDE. It emulates additional ...
