The new Arduino hardware offers a small and straightforward USB to UART converter with digital isolator, working between 2.5V and 5V up to 3Mboud, complete with an Arduino Pro mini connector.

The newly released Arduino Leonardo has a few very interesting features, most notably the ability to act as a USB keyboard and mouse thanks to the new ATmega 32U4 microcontroller.

Though [David] could have easily used USB OTG for this project, many microcontrollers don’t have the USB-to-TTL capabilities of his Arduino – so this wasn’t entirely in vain.
