USB Stick with ARM and RS232

Gigabyte Flash drive for microcontrollers

Published in issue 359, November 2006

USB Stick with ARM and RS232
This neat stand-alone memory stick can store or transfer data from a microcontroller system in the field to a PC using its built-in USB and RS232 ports. Add to that an LCD and the simple to use datalogging mode is just the icing on the cake!
Resistors

R1 = 1k potentiometer, SMD, 1% (optional, see text)
RN1,RN2 = 4-way 10k resistor array, 5%
R6, R11 = 1k5 (SMD 0805, 1%)
R7,R8 = 22Ω (SMD 0805, 1%)
R9 = 27k (SMD 0805, 1%)
R10 = 39k (SMD 0805, 1%)
Capacitors
