Serial conversion and interface hardware bridges the gap between microcontrollers, computers and specialised equipment. Typical devices include USB‑to‑TTL cables, RS‑232 shifters, RS‑485 transceivers and D‑sub connectors, each providing a defined voltage level and signalling standard. Breakout boards and adapters expose pins in a convenient format, allowing straightforward soldering or PCB mounting, while cable assemblies give reliable physical links to external ports such as DE9 or OBD‑II. Key considerations are voltage compatibility, connector type, signal integrity and ease of wiring into a larger system. These components are suited to projects that require reliable data exchange, protocol translation or direct access to serial bus pins, supporting a wide range of automation, diagnostic and embedded applications.
