CP2104 to serLCD test
Just a simple python sketch to test Silicon Labs CP2104.
The CP2104 is a USB to UART bridge. This allows serial communication over USB. When the device is attached to a USB port, it will appear as a serial interface. In my case /dev/ttyUSB0.
What do I do?
To test this device, connect the TX pin of the CP2104 to the RX pin of a sparkfun serLCD backpack driving an LCD display. Connect the CP2104 to the computer via USB verify that it appears as /dev/ttyUSB0.
This python sketch will send keypress characters via serial communication to be rendered on the LCD. You will need the pySerial and Curses modules installed.
Some python and a serLCD to get familiar with @siliconlabs CP2104 USB bridge.
