Connect the pins as shown to power the Pi or BBB and establish the RX\/TX link. Then install the Windows XP\/Vista\/7 or MacOS X PL2303HX.A drivers on your computer and connect with a terminal program at 115200 baud. Windows 8 is not supported.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt is easiest way ever to connect to your microcontroller\/Raspberry Pi\/WiFi router serial console port. Inside the big USB plug is a USB\u0026lt;-\u0026gt;Serial conversion chip and at the end of the 36\" cable are four wire - red power, black ground, white RX into USB port, and green TX out of the USB port. The power pin provides the 5V @ 500mA direct from the USB port and the RX\/TX pins are 3.3V level for interfacing with the most common 3.3V logic level chipsets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis cable is easier to use than an FTDI cable in many cases because the wires are separated.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote that : \u003c\/strong\u003eThis cable is not good for Arduino re-programming such as a Boarduino, MENTA, Monochron, etc. because it does not have the DTR\/RTS wire necessary for initiating the bootloader reboot sequence.
