AB - In order for hybrid learning that combines the advantages of online and offline learning in engineering education to efficiently achieve the intended educational goals, it is essential to develop a virtual experimental tool that can replace offline experimental practice. In this paper, we developed a USB-UART conversion module that enables a virtual microprocessor within virtual experiment software to transmit and receive data with external physical devices via the RS232 serial communication, and verified its functionality through experiments. The developed USB-UART conversion module is provided in the form of a device in the virtual experiment software and is connected to the virtual microprocessor using Rx/Tx lines in the RS-232 serial communication. It also provides an interface function with other external real-world devices through the USB virtual COM port of the host computer running the virtual experiment software. The developed USB-UART conversion module was successfully validated through experiments and is expected to significantly enhance the utilization of virtual experiment software by enabling RS-232 serial communication between virtual microprocessors and external physical devices extending its application beyond purely virtual environments.
