wires between the red and black which can cause a short circuit. Connect the power supply to
the wall and then to the barrel connector. Turn the switch to ON.
When the board is first turned on, LED A (green) and LED B (red) should both light up,
indicating that the baud rate is set to 9600.
Step D3 : Connect the SSC-32U to the computer via USB. The SSC-32U uses an FTDI chip to
convert USB to serial communication. Windows should automatically detect and download the
appropriate drivers. If there are any issues, the drivers can be downloaded and installed here:
