Adafruit PiUART - USB Console and Power Add-on for Raspberry Pi

The PiUART enhances your Raspberry Pi setup with a USB Type-C to serial connection, facilitating seamless interactions using serial port software. Effortlessly connect to the Pi's console without the need for a monitor, making it perfect for minimalist configurations.

Equipped with two LEDs, the PiUART indicates data transmission and reception through RX and TX connections, providing immediate visual feedback. The additional on-off switch includes a 4 Amp transistor, enabling you to power your Pi through the USB-C port and manage power easily without unplugging.

Ideal for low-power Raspberry Pi models like the Pi Zero and A+, the PiUART powers and controls using a single cable connected to your computer. For higher power models such as the Pi 3 and Pi 4, ensure compatibility with a high-current USB port for optimal performance.

Completely assembled and user-friendly, the PiUART requires only a quick driver installation on Mac OS X. Compatible with all Raspberry Pi versions, it offers a versatile solution for both configuration and power management. If your current cable uses a microUSB connector, an adapter will be necessary for full functionality.
