Hardware/Circuit Design
-----------------------
The Maple has 3 separate USART devices. In the most simple use case,
the RX and TX pins are used to send data at a predetermined baudrate
with the line voltage level relative to ground. Their usage is
documented in the :ref:`Serial Ports <lang-serial>` language reference
page.
Compatible Devices and Specifications
-------------------------------------
We have successfully used the Maple USART ports with an FT232R-based
USB-serial converter at up to 115200 baud; higher speeds should
certainly be possible.
