Depending on your application, the CH340 may be populated on a breakout or development board. Here are a few boards that use this particular USB-to-serial converter. You'll also need the correct USB cable to connect the board to your computer. You may need a jumper wires and a breadboard for prototyping.

Unlock the potential of your IoT projects with the ESP32S (ESP-WROOM-32) CH340 Type C board. This versatile development board features the powerful ESP32 microcontroller, which offers dual-core processing power, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, and a rich set of peripherals.

The CH340 chip is used by a number of Arduino compatible boards to provide USB connectivity, you may need to install a driver, don’t panic, it’s easier than falling off a log, and much less painful.

Searching for a MCU board with a better form factor, I got Arduino NANO. This board has same MCU, clock and everything. A new Usb to serial programmer provided, that is named as CH340G.

Connect the Artemis board to the computer over USB. Go to Device Manager, look for USB-SERIAL CH340 in available ports (COM number may vary). Open the Arduino IDE, ensure correct board and port definitions and upload the Blink example.

Mar 26, 2023 · Introduction to CH340. The CH340 is a commonly used integrated circuit that is bidirectional USb for conversion of serial converter IC and used for USB signal in UART that can used for communication through miconrollers.

Mar 14, 2019 · In this tutorial, I will explore the CH340 Arduino board to see whether there are differences in performance and power under different operating conditions. This will definitively answer whether the CH340 is a worthy alternative to the Rev3 or if it’s just a cheap imposter.

CH340 is a USB bus convert chip and it can realize USB convert to serial interface, USB convert to IrDA infrared or USB convert to printer interface. In serial interface mode, CH340 supplies common MODEM liaison signal, used to enlarge asynchronous serial interface of computer or upgrade the common serial device to USB bus directly.
