Paparazzi USB Bootloader Upload
Required components
- 1 x FTDI TTL-232R-3V3 (Digikey #768-1015-ND) USB to UART converter cable with +3.3V TTL level UART signals. (see Note 1)
- 2 x 4-pin connector housing Molex Picoblade 51021-0400 (Digikey #WM1722-ND)
- 5 x crimp terminal female Molex Picoblade 50058-8000 (Digikey #WM1775CT-ND)
- 1 x 6-pin 0.1" pitch single in line male connector header Samtec TSW-132-07-TS (Digikey #SAM1035-32-ND) or equivalent
- 28-32AWG wiring cable
- Note1: It is advised to use FTDI USB-serial converter, as serial FTDI chips are by default working well in Linux.
- The Paparazzi ground station software is configured to look for modems on FTDI ports by default.
- This harness can also serve as a modem interface (after it's use in Bootloader uploading) if you plug it on Umarim's UART1 connector
