The TicTacLights USB Retrofit is a small PCB that extends older revisions of the [[TicTacLightsEnglish|TicTacLights]] and [[TicTacLightsColourEnglish|TicTacLights Colour]] with a USB port which can be used for power supply as well as data transfer ([[MCUFEnglish|MCUF]] streaming) through a virtual serial port. The PCB contains a Mini USB-B jack, a CH340G USB to UART converter IC and the associated passive components. It is compatible with the following revisions of the TicTacLights: | |||
* TicTacLights (monochrome): | |||
** Rev. 1.0 | |||
** Rev. 2.0 | |||
** Rev. 3.0 | |||
* TicTacLights Colour | |||
** Rev. 1.0 | |||
Starting from TicTacLights 4.0 and TicTacLights Colour 2.0, the entire USB functionality is already included on the main PCB and the Retrofit is no longer required. | |||
