I made a PCB board that can handle measurements and control from a web application made in Java (Vaadin) and I want to connect the RX and TX pins of that PCB board to my Raspberry Pi 4B.

I tried to connect RX -> TX and RT -> RX between the PCB board and the Raspberry Pi 4B. Then I'm using jSerialComm library for communication in Java. But it did not work for me.

Question

Is jSerialComm library only made for "USB"-communication and not using the RX and TX pins as well in Raspberry Pi?

Else, my PCB board works well with a FTDI232 chip between the PCB board and the Raspberry Pi USB port.

  • Without details of what you have done it is impossible to answer. It is certainly possible to connect serial in any language. Have you enabled serial on the Pi?

  • @Milliways Yes I have enabled. But perhaps jSerialComm is a USB library, and not an UART library?

Dan What you may need is one if these boards https://atlas-scientific.com/ezo-accessories/basic-usb-to-serial-converter/ They connect to the usb on the pi and then to serial on your custom board I have used these in the past, and they work great Dan

  • I solved the issue. jSerialComm can use the RX and TX pins if you using ttyS0
