WiSer
Introducing WiSer: Bringing Wireless Convenience to Serial Connectivity
WiSer empowers you to create a seamless, wireless peer-to-peer serial connection between two devices. Whether you’re debugging code, logging data, updating firmware, or transferring files, say goodbye to the hassle of USB cables, unreliable Wi-Fi routers, or fussy Bluetooth setups. Engineered for simplicity and efficiency, WiSer eliminates the need for software, drivers, or any setup complexities. To your devices, it’s simply a cable. WiSer serves as a wireless alternative to FTDI or CP2102-based USB to TTL converters. Connect the USB module to your computer, link the TTL module to your target device, open your preferred serial terminal software, and experience the freedom to move around while you work!

Device Overview
WiSer is available in two configurations: a pair consisting of WiSer-USB and WiSer-TTL devices or a set of two WiSer-USB devices. Take a closer look at WiSer! 🎥 Watch the video on YouTube now.
WiSer-USB
WiSer-USB connects to your PC/Device. Upon powering up, the WiSer-USB creates a virtual serial port on the host system and waits for its paired WiSer device to power up as well. The WiSer-USB device is factory-paired with either a WiSer-TTL or another WiSer-USB device, depending on the product variant. Once both the WiSer-USB and the paired device are powered up, they automatically establish a connection. The device has a “Find Pair” button to identify the paired device as well as to toggle the RTS/CTS hardware flow control functionality based on duration of button press.

WiSer-TTL
The WiSer-TTL device connects to your embedded device for wireless communication. Upon power-up, the WiSer-TTL will establish a connection with its paired WiSer-USB device. The WiSer-TTL device is available in different variants. You can choose between models with header pins pre-mounted or models with loose header pins. This flexibility allows you to select the option that best suits your project/product requirements.
