This adapter was made to replace and upgrade a previous one. CH340 chip was desoldered from an Arduino board and placed on a hand-drawn PCB.
Assembled over a weekend, with some build-in LEDs for visualising the data transfer.
Schematics is below:
The previous adapter I used was a copy of a cdc232 project with Attiny2313 and maximum baudrate 38400. The slow speed combined with no data transfer visualization eventually proofed inadequate, hence the upgrade.
