How connect Arduino to CP2102?

Install CP2102 UART Module Drivers If it is detected, it is ready to be used. Open Arduino IDE > Tools > Board > Select Arduino Mini Pro. Then go to Tools > Serial Port > Select COM port.

How do I program my Pro Mini with Uno?

Now that we have made the connections we are set to upload code to our Pro mini.

1. Open Arduino IDE .
2. Connect Your UNO to PC.
3. Select the right port.
4. Go to tools >> Boards >> Select Arduino Pro mini.
5. Got to tools >> Processor >> Select the type of board you have. ( I am using Atmega 329 3.3v 8Mhz)
6. Now upload the code. (

How do I put programs on my mini pro?

To upload the sketch to the Arduino Pro Mini, you need to press the upload button in the Arduino environment. Wait a few seconds – you should see the RX and TX LEDs on the board flashing. If the upload is successful, the message “Done uploading.” will appear in the status bar.

How do I put code in my pro mini?

Uploading Code

1. Before we can upload the sketch to the Mini, you’ll need to tell Arduino what board you’re using. Go to Tools > Board and select Arduino Pro or Pro Mini.
2. Then, go back up to Tools > Processor and select ATmega328 (3.3V, 8MHz).
3. Heads up!
4. Finally, you’re all set to upload the sketch to your Mini.

What is CP2102 module?

CP2102 chip from SiLabs is a single chip USB to UART bridge IC. It requires minimal external components. CP2102 can be used to migrate legacy serial port based devices to USB. This module help all those who are comfortable with RS232/Serial Communication protocol, to build USB devices very easily.

What is TTL connection?

What is TTL serial? TTL stands for Transistor-Transistor Logic, a serial communication commonly found in UART (universally asynchronous receiver/transmitter) transmission method, a method seen in most microcontrollers these days.

What is TTL protocol?

For example, TTL is a value in an Internet Protocol (IP) packet that tells a network router when the packet has been in the network too long and should be discarded. The time-to-live value instructs a network router when a packet should be discarded.

Is the CP2102 chip compatible with Arduino Pro Mini?

This USB to TTL Serial board based on the CP2102 chip, is readily available on eBay. And it can be used to program the Arduino Pro Mini and others which don’t have USB on board. But it’s not as convenient as the FTDI board sold by spark fun. The pin out of the USB adapter and the Arduino doesn’t match.

Where is the DTR pin on the CP2102?

To use the auto-reset to upload code from the arduino IDE, we will use the DTR pin on the CP2102 chip. On the data sheet we can find the pin-out.

How to auto reset to CP2102 USB to TTL adapter?

Just cut a piece of perfboard with a sawtooth, and sand the edges to make it smooth. Then I used piece of steel wool to remove the oxidation layer of the copper to make soldering easier. Using the same pin header removed earlier, I inserted it from the bottom and then soldered it on the top.

How to connect UART module to Arduino Mini Mini?

Open Arduino IDE > Tools > Board > Select Arduino Mini Pro. Then go to Tools > Serial Port > Select COM port. Connect the pins of CP2102 UART Module with Arduino Mini Pro according to the table provided down below:
