Hello arduino community! i have recently bought a silicon labs cp210x usb to uart bridge so i can communicate via serial with my Leonardo, but it does not seem to work. I have tx -> rx, rx -> tx, 5v -> 5v, and ground -> ground.
The cp210 only gives my arduino power, i can not receive or transmit any information in the serial monitor. Nor can i upload any sketches.
I tried with all of my boards, same thing.
here is what the device manager and the arduino ide say.
any information would be great.
(mod edit)
