Hiya fellow engineers and makers! Pro or hobbyist, you probably prefer working with tools that are reliable and flexible. You wouldn’t want a multimeter that isn’t adequately protected, has stability issues, or one that only works as a voltmeter, right? So why don’t we have the same quality requirements for UART converters? Aren’t these similarly key tools for many of us like a multimeter? Why do we put up with these converters that have quirky behaviour, need constant replacement, or are only good for specific electronics and voltages?

After having trouble (again) with one of my UART adapters, the above basic thoughts are what lead me to the creation of the μArt.

I am writing to announce that the μArt campaign is live and is accepting pledges! A successful campaign will be key to making the μArt in its ideal form available to everybody. So pledge and let us together finally create a worthy UART adapter that should have been available since long.
