μArt

What it does

The μArt is a USB-UART(TTL) adapter that is finally both universal and reliable. It supports all voltages in the range of 1.8 - 5.4 V, it has handshaking and other pins for flashing MCUs, it is galvanically isolated, has various protection circuits, a case, even GPIOs and more. Replace your UART adapter collection with a single quality piece.

The high quality, versatile, and reliable USB-UART converter for both professionals and enthusiasts

Presenting μArt, an isolated USB to UART-TTL adapter that is truly versatile, safe, and dependable. You can use it almost anywhere you need to connect a UART to your computer’s USB port, regardless of voltage levels, electric potentials, and communication speed, and whether it is used for data exchange or for programming Arduinos, ESPs, or other devices. At the same time, μArt is robust and tolerates common user mistakes without being damaged or causing damage to other hardware. μArt was created so that you can finally replace your collection of UART converters with a single, high-quality tool. It is no secret that there are many UART adapters on the market. So, you might ask, what’s…from crowdsupply.com

  Micro-RLE ≤264-byte compression for UART/MCU logs, zero RAM growthNov 2025 · github.com · ▲7

  I needed to stuff twice the telemetry through the same 115 kbaud line on a Cortex-M0+ that only had 8 kB flash left. Micro-RLE is the smallest drop-in I could come up with: 264 B of Thumb code, 36 B of state, no malloc, worst-case 14 cycles&#x2F;byte and still lossless for every 8-bit pattern. On the usual sensor streams (ADC, IMU, GPS) it’s 33-70 % smaller than raw output and boots in < 600 µs, so you can fire-and-forget from main() before the PLL even locks. Repo is a single .c file and a 3-function API—replace the weak emit() hook with your UART &#x2F; DMA &#x2F; ring-buffer and you’re…

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Retool▲640

  Hi all, founder @ Retool here. We initially launched Retool on HN five years ago: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14515494. The feedback was extraordinarily helpful then (e.g. we launched source control, on-prem, etc. based on HN comments), and we’re grateful for all of it. Today, we’re excited to get HN’s thoughts on one of our new products: Retool Mobile. It lets you build and deploy mobile apps in minutes, not days. The idea is there is a large class of line-of-business mobile apps, and the process of getting a simple form + button on a mobile device, in a native app,…
