The TicTacLights USB Retrofit is a small PCB that extends older revisions of the TicTacLights and TicTacLights Colour with a USB port which can be used for power supply as well as data transfer (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.
