The Seeed product wiki describes how to connect the CH340G module to the Seed mega328 plus WIZnet 5100 (Ethernet) board with instructions for Linux, OS X, and Windows. Mouser does have the mega328P plus CH340 combination in-stock (Seeed Studio Seeeduino Lotus).
Mouser and Digi-Key are distributors though neither has the CH340G module currently in-stock neither stock the CH340T chip.

Google for the pin out of the 16-pin version of the CH340G (which is used on almost all the USB devices and isn't covered in the datasheet. Use AWG30 gauge (wire-wrap) sized wire and a fine-tip iron. To use this USB, you need to make a jump between the tiny pin on the CH340G and the via hole for DTR on the Pro Mini. USB-C is also reversable, which means youll never plug in a cable wrong again. Weve added USB-C to the Serial Basic line which can provide up to 1.5 Amps of power to your next project. There may be a different USB-serial IC on the other side of the USB board. SparkFun Serial Basic Breakout - CH340C (DEV-15096) This is a CH340C based board that converts USB to Serial.

'Chinese documentation' is one of those oxymorons like 'military intelligence', 'jumbo shrimp', or 'Kennedy School of Government'. My ports are USB 3.0, as suggested I tried lowering the receive and transmit buffer in. The USB - serial converter does not appear to have brought out the DTR pin from the CH340G (verify that it actually is a CH340G). Check the connections with a voltmeter's continuity_checker/beeper. Sometimes these Arduino clones have the header pattern of holes reversed, sometimes the silkscreen is reversed, and sometimes they're all correct. Unless they are reversed and the hole that is actually closer to the tiny capacitor is the DTR. The reset capacitor is above the pin marked RAW. You must use all commands again every time you reboot your linux, or only last command every time you disconnect your device.The DTR pin is the one in the corner marked BLK. Now you can select /dev/ttyUSB0 as your serial port. Sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0xxxxx product=0xxxxx If not, then use lsusb command and note down your VID/PID numbers of your device and do the following commands as root: It is recognized as /dev/ttyACM0 and you use axepad as user, then you must chmod the device as root:
I know nothing about linux so i have no idea of what it all means. I cant even buy a serial cable or the plugs to make one for $3.50.Īs for the linux users this might be of some help to you, and was posted on a different forum. I find the cables cheap enough to include with any kit board i send to anyone as i to found every one has a serial port until they go to plug into it and find out no they dont. You must use the same usb socket each time or you will need to reinstall the driver for each usb socket used, as it will assign a different com port number for each usb socket. You MUST use the driver on the disc or the Ritmo driver or it will not work. The suppliers will not tell you this as they are sold as a no name brand but rest asured they are made by Ritmo. If anyone is interested all these cables with the green plugs are made by Ritmo and if you go to the Ritmo web site there is drivers listed there should you loose the disc or are having problems. These also work with Vista, as not all cables come with a driver compatiable for Vista.
