Usage
The USBSerial Adaptor converts USB signals to UART signals. you can use this Adapter to download Progam.

You can use this USBSerail Adapter as the following methods:

1.You can use it to convert USB signal to UART signal, in this way,you can translate data between your microcontroller, that sent and receive
data via UART, and your PC than uses USB.
2.As there is a Xbee connector on the USBSerial adapter, so you can translae data between your PC and the Xbee compatible bees. In this
way, this module acts as an PC Wireless Ad-ons.
3.Also, With this module, you can adds Xbees and compatible bees to your microcontroller Projects, like Arduino.

How the USBSerial Adapter work

The USB Adaptor will be handled as as a USB Serial Port in PC. Generally speaking, you do not need to install the driver manually, the
Windows and IOS system will install the driver automaticlly. but, if your PC failled to do this, you will need to install the driver manually. you
