Using a UART Module

A number of the software examples display messages on a UART terminal. If you are using a Titanium development board, you can simply connect a USB cable to the board and to your computer. For Trion development boards, you need to use a USB-to-UART converter.

  • Using the On-board UART (Titanium)
  • Set Up a USB-to-UART Module (Trion)
  • Open a Terminal
  • Enable Telnet on Windows
