To connect Micromite to PC computer we need following parts:
- PL203 USB to Serial interface
- Micromite chip with board
- Proper power supply
To correctly install PL203 chip driver, it is not enough just to install driver from manufacturer's web site. As many of these chips are made in China, and not accepted by original manufacturer as valid, this driver will produce Error code 10 when driver is installed.
To overcome this sitution we need to use older driver, which is available here.
Proper power supply means that sometimes if you use extension cable USB power, it won't give enough power to power supply unit which is converting 5v into 3.3v for Micromite and as a result chip would respond with a lot of garbage in terminal program, even with all com parameters correctly set. Use computer USB port for power supplying.
To make communication with chip you can use Teraterm and MM edit.
