How to Use:

In the case of working with an MCU:

• VCCIO: 3.3V or 5V output (the module is powered from USB, the onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V)
• GND: connects to GND
• TXD: connects to the MCU.RX (signal direction: MCU. RX CP2102 PC.TX)
• RXD: connects to the MCU.TX (signal direction: MCU.TX CP2102 PC.RX)
• RTS: connects to the MCU.CTS (signal direction: MCU.CTS CP2102 PC.RTS)
• CTS: connects to the MCU.RTS (signal direction: MCU.RTS CP2102 PC.CTS)
