Advise on a possible compatible USB<>UART adapter
Hello everyone,
Hope that everyone's safe.
I'm looking forward to test a certain device, that's supposed to be connected to a RPI under the UART interface (+5v GND RX TX).
As I'm not even risking voiding the warranty of the Jigsaw, I was looking for any kind of USB adapter that would allow me to connect the UART interface of the device, to a USB on the Jigsaw, and therefore try to use the "Basic" device to see if something happens, and try to do the integration.
Most of the adapters I see on the internet refer drivers, etc. I was looking for something more straightforward, as I just want to connect via USB to the Jigsaw.
Any advise? Anyone ever used this kind of adapter on the Jigsaw / Grinder / Whatever?
Best regards

Hello Ricardo,
in one of our testing environments we used the CP2102 Module USB adapter (possibly this one https://hobbycomponents.com/usb-interface/396-usb-to-uart-serial-interface-module-adaptor) however we didn't try it on a Jigsaw server, we always used it on windows machine, but it should be worth a try.
Best regards.
Hi Ricardo
I have a Jigsaw so I tried connecting up some USB serial devices that I have to hand. Both the FTDI 232 and the Prolific 2303 seem to connect showing as /dev/ttyUSB0 in the Linux device list. The Basic driver shows the device as /dev/serial/by-path/platform-3f980000.usb-usb-0:1.2:1.0-port0 although I haven't tried to use it.
I'm running bOS 4.7.0 on Linux version 5.4.83-5-ARCH. My Jigsaw is four or five years old so out of warranty but still working perfectly!
Regards
Andy
Hi,
Thanks guys! I will try to use any of those devices.
If succeeded in the testings, probably I will have another integration available, with an awarded radio technology alarm system (no advertising yet, until a successful test is done). Probably it will take some days until I get the adapter, and the parts needed for the integration.
Best regards
