Developer-Friendly Flexibility

Manual Control via ASCII Terminal
Simply open up the COM port with your favorite terminal application and use the intuitive human-readable command protocol to send and receive data. Perfect for when you're exploring IC functionality or while developing device drivers for your embedded project. It doesn't get much easier than that.

See the ASCII commands guide

Automated Control via Any Language
Easily write test scripts or integrate host adapter control from your own application using the same ASCII command set. A cross-platform Python library makes development a breeze. No wasting your valuable time with DLL files or other complicated setups, automation can be easily achieved in any programming language that can open up a COM port.

Features

• Cross-platform: No longer constrained to any particular operating system. Beyond that, device drivers are already included on most operating systems (Win10, Mac OSX, Ubuntu). You'll be up and running in no time.
• Multi-protocol: Support for I2C, SPI, UART, (Dallas) 1-Wire, and (Atmel) SWI, as well as basic GPIO and ADC functionality.  There's even a single-channel DAC output for those moments when you need to stimulate your circuit with a particular voltage.
• Downstream Power: Sometimes you just need a few mA from a 3V3 rail or perhaps just the 5V USB Bus power. Both of these power sources are made available for your convenience.
• Built to travel, built to last: The anodized aluminum enclosure ensures your device will survive your adventures to the factory, customer sites, conference rooms, classrooms, and labs. With a low-profile design, it’s easy to have this must-have tool on hand at all times.
• Best of all: Firmware updates are free, fast, and easy. You'll always have the latest features as this product gracefully ages.
• USB Type C: Stay connected with the included 30cm USB C (male to male) cable.
