'''Please Note''' In the interests of keeping the price down Nanode does not have the FTDI serial/USB chip on board - and in this respect it is like the Arduino Pro and Pro Mini. | '''Please Note''' In the interests of keeping the price down Nanode does not have the FTDI serial/USB chip on board - and in this respect it is like the Arduino Pro and Pro Mini. | ||
You | You can use either an FTDI cable, FTDI adaptor board or an arduino [http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/235 without the ATMEGA chip plugged in] as a serial/programming interface to the nanode. You will need one of the three in order to flash firmware to the nanode. | ||
These can be bought cheaply from [http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-TTL-Serial-Cable-FTDI-chipset-/290576368332?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item43a7b382cc Ebay] Make sure you buy the 5V version. | These can be bought cheaply from [http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-TTL-Serial-Cable-FTDI-chipset-/290576368332?pt=UK_Computing_CablesConnectors_RL&hash=item43a7b382cc Ebay] Make sure you buy the 5V version. |
