U600 | Micro.usb Datasheet
The Micro.usb module enables a Micro Sensinode with a convenient way to interface
the node with for example a PC. The board gives a serial connection over USB for
debugging, supplies power to the stack, and enables programming the microcontroller.
In addition Micro.usb can be used with a rechargeable battery, which is automatically
charged when the node is powered by USB.
Micro.usb makes use of the widely supported FTDI USB chip, which has drivers in all
major operating systems. When plugged into a PC, the FTDI driver provides a serial
port to the Sensinode (directly to the microcontroller). The serial port can then be
used with a terminal for debugging or control purposes, or with the NanoStack PC
tools.
