# USB CDC-ACM Virtual Com Port example
(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
2022-05-17 08:15:54 -04:00
This example shows how to extend CDC-ACM driver for Virtual Communication Port (VCP) devices,
such as CP210x, FTDI FT23x or CP34x devices.
The drivers are fetched from [IDF Component Registry ](https://components.espressif.com/ ) together with VCP service that automatically loads correct driver for plugged-in device.

## How to use example
2022-05-17 08:15:54 -04:00
1. Connect your USB< - > UART converter to ESP32-S2/S3, the device will be automatically enumerated and correct driver will be picked
2. Change baudrate and other line coding parameters in [cdc_acm_vcp_example_main.cpp ](main/cdc_acm_vcp_example_main.cpp ) to match your needs
3. Now you can use the usual CDC-ACM API to control the device and send data. Data are received in `handle_rx` callback

4. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting of the USB device to experiment with USB hotplugging
### Hardware Required
* ESP board with USB-OTG supported
2022-05-17 08:15:54 -04:00
* Silicon Labs CP210x, FTDI FT23x or CP34x USB to UART converter
2022-03-23 12:23:08 -04:00
Connect USB_D+, USB_D-, GND and +5V signals of your ESP chip to matching signals on USB to UART converter.
#### Pin Assignment
See common pin assignments for USB Device examples from [upper level ](../../../README.md#common-pin-assignments ).
### Build and Flash
Build this project and flash it to the USB host board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
```bash
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```
(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)
(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)
See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.
