<h1>FabFTDI: A Do-It-Yourself FTDI Cable (i.e. USB to Serial Converter) </h1>
<h1>&nbsp;</h1>
<h1>1 Introduction </h1>
<p>FabFTDI is DIY version of FTDI cable that can be made in fablab and this page descirbes how to make it. &nbsp;The FabFTDI uses an Atmega16U2 microcontroller and is based on USbtoSerial example of LUFA library. Figure below shows the schematic diagram of the FabFTDI:</p>
<img src="FabFTDI_Schematic.png" width="900" height="560" alt=""/>
<p><em>Schematic circuit diagram of FabFTDI</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The FabFTDI is powered through USB port which provides 500mA at 5V. The USB data line D+/D- is used to communicate with the microcontrolle's USB controller. Since the data lines operate at 3.3V, two voltage limiting zener diodes are used to limit the voltage in these pins. The D- line is pulled-up to the 5V through 1.5K resistor to indicate to the host computer that the connnected device is a low-speed USB device. The USB controller needs a precise clock, therefore, an external 16MHz crystal is used as a precise clock source. The LED and the corresponding resistor R4 is optional but if used can be used as visual indication of data communication. The FabFTDI is a USB 2.0 Full-speed device and support upto&nbsp;38400bps of serial communication. The Unix and Mac OS doesn not require any drivers, however, a driver is required for windows operating system (more on this later). </p>

<h2>2.3 FabFTDI Using ATTiny45 </h2>
<h3>2.3.1 Schematic Circuit Diagram</h3>
<img src="FabFTDIAttiny45/FabFTDISchematic.png" width="800" height="452" alt=""/>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The figure above shows the schematic diagram of the FabFTDI circuit. The circuit is powered by a USB port which can provide 5V voltage and up to 500mA current.</p>
<p> A USB port has four lines: 5V, D-, D+ and GND. The line D- and D+ are called data lines and used to for communication. These data lines can tolerate only upto 3.3V voltage, and therefore, two Zener diodes are used to limit the voltage to 3.3V. The line D- is connected to 5V using 15k (10kohm + 499ohm) which is used by the host (your computer) to determine that the connected device is a low speed device. Resistors R5 and R6 are used to protect TxD and RxD pins.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>3 Testing your FabFTDI</h1>
<ol>
<li>Connect your FabFTDI to a computer. Mac/Unix operating system should be able to detect it without any driver. For Windows, download driver from <a href="http://www.recursion.jp/prose/avrcdc/avrcdc_inf.zip">here</a>.</li>
<li>For testing FabFTDI, we will use Neil's <a href="http://academy.cba.mit.edu/classes/embedded_programming/index.html">hello.ftdi.44.echo</a> board. Since our cable support baud rate up to 4800, we need to specify this baud rate in hello.ftdi.44.echo.c file. Open this file and change bit_delay_time = 208.3, compile and flash it into hello.ftdi.44.echo board. </li>
<li>Next step is same as what you did in <a href="http://academy.cba.mit.edu/classes/embedded_programming/hello.ftdi.44.program.png">Embedded programming week</a>. Connect FabFTDI to hello.ftdi.44.echo and execute command<br />
<br />
python term.py /dev/ttyACM0 4800</li>
</ol>
<p>if you can see the typed character in term.py window echo'ing back then you have a working FabFTDI. Congratulations!!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>4 Troubleshooting</h1>
<p>If things don't workout, try following things</p>
<ol>
<li>Double check the polarity of the two Zener diodes.</li>
<li>Consider using other USB port on your computer. </li>
<li>Check if the FabFTDI is connected in the right orientation. Match GND pin of FabFTDI to GND pin of hello.ftdi.44.echo board.</li>
<li>Make sure FabFTDI is plugged-in properly and not loose.<br />
</li>

<h1>Building the FabFTDI (i.e. USB to Serial Converter) </h1>
<h1>&nbsp;</h1>
<h1>1 Introduction </h1>
<p>This page descirbes making your own FabFTDI cable. There are three versions of the FabFTDI using three different microcontrollers. All version of FabFTDI uses V-USB to implement low-speed USB device and implement USART differently. The Attiny45 version of FabFTDI implements USART using software and is limited to boud rate of 4800bps. The Attiny102 and Attiny441 versions uses hardware USART and support boud rate of upto 38400bps. The FabFTDI is powered through USB port which provides 500mA at 5V. The USB data line D+/D- is used to communicate with the micro-controller. Since the data lines operate at 3.3V, two voltage limiting zener diodes are used to limit voltage in these pins to 3.3V.

<h2>2.3 PCB Assembly</h2>
<p>For stuffing FabFTDI board you will need following components:</p>
<ol>
<li>Download the PNG files for trace and board outline from links below - FabFTDI traces (1000dpi) FabFTDI board outline (1000dpi) </li>
<li>Use the standard PCB milling process to fabricate PCB. </li>
<li>You will need following components: Attiny45, two 3.3V Zener diode, 0.1uF capacitor, two 49ohm resistors, two 470ohm resistors, 1K resistor, 499ohm resistor, 2x3 pin header and 1x6 pin header. </li>
<li>Make sure to solder zerner diode in the right orientation. The anode (A) should be connected to GND and cathode (C) should be connected to D- or D+. </li>
<li>If there is any access copper left in front of the middle two pads of USB footprint in the board, remove it using a knife and apply some solder to all the pads of USB lines as shown below-</li>
<li>Atmega16U2 (or compatible microcontroller such ast Atmega8U2 or Atmega32U2 and same pin count).</li>
<li>Two 3.3V voltage limiting zener diodes.</li>

<h3>2.1.4 Programing Fuses &amp; Firmware</h3>
<p>It is recommended to start with stuffing smaller and difficult component and then bigger and easy components such as connectors. For this board soldering the micro-controller is tricky as the pins are very close to each other. Here, I am showing an easy way to solder the microcontroller. First, carelessly solder all the pins to the pads and then use copper braid to remove excess solder. </p>

<h2>2.3 FabFTDI Using ATTiny45 </h2>
<h3>2.3.1 Schematic Circuit Diagram</h3>
<img src="FabFTDIAttiny45/FabFTDISchematic.png" width="800" height="452" alt=""/>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The figure above shows the schematic diagram of the FabFTDI circuit. The circuit is powered by a USB port which can provide 5V voltage and up to 500mA current.</p>
<p> A USB port has four lines: 5V, D-, D+ and GND. The line D- and D+ are called data lines and used to for communication. These data lines can tolerate only upto 3.3V voltage, and therefore, two Zener diodes are used to limit the voltage to 3.3V. The line D- is connected to 5V using 15k (10kohm + 499ohm) which is used by the host (your computer) to determine that the connected device is a low speed device. Resistors R5 and R6 are used to protect TxD and RxD pins.</p>
