6.1 Using PSoC 5LP as USB-UART Bridge
The PSoC 5LP serves as a USB-UART bridge, which can communicate with the COM terminal
software. This section explains how to create a PSoC 4 code example to communicate with the
COM terminal software. This project is available with other code examples for the PSoC 4 Pioneer
Kit at the element14 web page, 100 Projects in 100 days.
Users who have a Windows operating system that does not have HyperTerminal can use an
alternate terminal software such as PuTTY.
