The term i search ebay for to find CH340G adapters is "ch340g 6pin" (without the quotes). The green ones are probably my favorite (a bit harder to find, but they are there on ebay), since everyone has buckets of micro usb cables, while full sized usb extension cables are somewhat uncommon. I normally use the black ones with the voltage switch (the black ones that don't have the voltage switch are trash - they don't break out DTR, and are the ones where I saw the USB connector not soldered down properly), or the green ones with the micro USB connector and voltage switch. The build quality is often shoddy - I have seen ones where the USB connector wasn't completely soldered on. still $1 serial adapters (and the ones you get elsewhere for more are typically the same ones, just with a higher price). Click “File->Examples” to check sample code under Makeblock folder.That is not impossible - the CH340G serial adapters you get on ebay for $1 each, while they usually work, are. If it is opened, you need to restart to see changes.Ĥ. \Contents\Javalibraries\makeblock\exampleģ. Windows 7: “\libraries”Your Arduino library folder now looks like this (on Windows):.Decompress the makeblock folder in the zip to the Arduino default library: (Note: The Arduino installation package for windows has integrated the Makeblock library.)Ģ. Step2: Install Makeblock Library for Arduino Mac OSX : Me Baseboard / Makeblock Orion(CH340 driver, compatible with MegaPi mainboard) / Arduino Uno Arduino IDE installation package: Windows / Mac OSX / Linux ( 32Bit | 64Bit ).Step 1: Download Arduino IDE and install Arduino driver We provide a complete Arduino development environment for users. The IDE is written in Java and based on processing environment. It includes a development environment (IDE) and library. (Note: You may skip the steps for installing Arduino, and only install CH340 driver)Īrduino is an open-source platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. The complete installation process of Arduino and driver is as below. For some computers, the driver may not be automatically installed, so you have to install the Driver manually. For MegaPi, the main control chip is Mega2560 and driver chip is CH340.
