CrossRoads, Thank you for the quick reply!
I didn't realize I could get them that cheap. Oh well, I guess I'm committed to giving this CP2102 one last try before I junk it and by a different module.
I added 0.1 uF caps to the VCC and AVCC pins as requested. I was still unable to upload the sketch.
Yes, the crystal has 22 pF caps on both legs of the crystal. I also switched out the crystal a while back to rule that out.
The picture is unclear, but there is a brown jumper wire going from the VCC pin of the CP2102 module to the power rail.
Is there a way to test the TX and RX communication via a multimeter, LED, or through my Arduino UNO?
What other factors could I rule out?
I've attached pictures this time. I'm not sure why they would not attach to my original post.
