DGZZI PL2303TA Debug Console Cable 1PC PL2303TA USB to TTL Serial Cable for Raspberry Pi

Works as expected.

First of, this does NOT use a prolific chip. Inside it has a blacked out chip to hide what the chip really is. Personally, I don't want to waste time with non-prolific chipsets and companies that I can't trust when it comes to working with firmware, so this goes in the junk bin.On mine, the color code was:Red: 5V (VDD or VCC)Black: Ground (GND)White: Transmit (TX)Green: Receive (RX)I verified by holding the blue case and gently twisting the USB connector to make the case start to seperate, then looked inside to see what was soldered where.This is not the same standard the rest of my cables use, so I advise if yours doesn't work, try reversing the TX and RX wires.

Used it to read the codes on a 001 PS3. All was good once I reversed the tx and rx lines.

Very good price. No instructions.I bought this to connect to the signals on a Raspberry Pi-4.Information about the Raspberry Pi GPIO indicated what pins to connect to. I found a picture on the web which shows that red = NC, black = 6:GND, White =8:TXD , Green = 10:RXDConnect at 115200 bps, 8N1, no flow control.

Works great with my Linux PC. Didn't have to install any drivers. Plug and play

I plugged this into a Windows machine recently. Windows automatically downloaded the official Prolific driver, which notified me "THIS IS NOT PROLIFIC PL2303. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR SUPPLIER". Updated from 5 stars to 1 star for selling a counterfeit product.Original Review below:-----------------------First one was bad, replacement works greatMake sure you test this: short the White Rx to the green Tx and ensure that everything you send is also received (you can just open a terminal program like `miniterm.py` and type a bunch of letters). My first one was not working correctly and after looking with the scope, I determined Tx was fine, but there was a stuck bit on the Rx. Of it was sent 0x00 it received 0x80, if it was sent 0x71 it received 0xF1, etc.It shows up on Linux as `067b:2303 Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port / Mobile Action MA-8910P` and just works out of box. I think Windows 10 still gets PL2303 drivers via windows update, so Windows users will probably have to wait a bit after plugging it in before it starts working, or maybe download from Prolific's website.I've used it up to 921600, which is the limits of the micro I'm working with.

I got the device to work, though there is no documentation as to what the color code of the wires mean. Then it kept dropping offline. If I unplug and replug it (sometimes many times) it comes back online. This is on a WIndows 10 PC. Finally it stopped coming back online at all. Moved it to a Linux computer and failed to work there either. At least Linux gives the helpful information: "unable to enumerate USB device".Gonna buy some other brand...

Not genuine, has a counterfeit component and drivers are blocked by Windows.
