Hi i'm currently working on interfacing the MPU6050 sensor with XMC4500 RelaxKit and I would like to send data from the XMC to the PC through Serial to visualize if i get the correct readings from the sensor and probably interfacing with Processing to demonstrate the imu working correctly.

So, I would like to know if it this is possible or the only way is by through a RS485 cable connected to pc, and if it is possible which UART pins are connected to the USB cable.

Best regards,

Hi André,

There is a app called USBVC001 in DAVE3 and you can use it to create virtual com port when you connect xmc4500 with the PC.
There are some API provided that allows you to send and receive data over the USB to the virtual com port.
So, from your PC, you just need to connect a terminal program to the virtual com port.
