5.11 Modular Mode
When used in modular mode as shown in Figure 5-7, the power is supplied through a single USB connector; the same USB connector J5 is also used for data transfer through the CP2015 USB to UART converter. When enumerated correctly, the 2 UART ports are displayed on the device manager as a Virtual COM Port, similar to that shown in Figure 5-6.
Figure 5-6 Virtual COM PortThe SICP2105 drivers must be installed to access the UART port. Download and install the drivers here.
