VCP has the advantage that the USB connection is not shared with UART1 so you don’t need to worry about using it for something else. These interfaces are integrated features in the MCU.įor VCP boards, you will see USB VCP in the port tab which has MSP enabled. Modern flight controllers use VCP (Virtual COM Port) to configure settings, and use DFU mode to flash firmware. That’s also why you don’t want to connect any other devices to this UART if you have this type of FC.

It’s common in older boards like the Seriously Pro Racer F3 (SPRF3) and Naze32 have a on board which is used.įor CP210X, you will notice UART1 has MSP enabled for communicating with the computer when USB port is connected.

Also it’s useful to know in case your USB port is broken and you need to connect to the computer.įurther Reading: How to choose an flight controller for mini quad How to Tell if You have CP210X or VCP ? CP2102, CP2103ĬP210X is a chip as the interface between the FC and computer for configuration and firmware flashing. Each type requires different driver to install on your computer. All FC’s use one of the two types of USB connection, CP210X or VCP.
