Hello all,
I've just purchased a USB->SERIAL connector but not sure how to connect it to the PIC16F877.
The connector has 4 connections, TX, RX, GND, +v.
The USB converter actually powers itself from the USB and it says on the manual that the +v pin can be also be used to power the PIC.
Tx and Rx is fine, but do I connect the +v and gnd to the pic power source too? (my pic runs from another power source without using USB power)
thanks for any kind replies.
