USB mini to TTL FTDI Board Module FT232RL Switchable 3.3V/5V is a high-quality electronic component designed for Arduino, prototyping, and educational electronics. USB mini to TTL FTDI Board Module FT232RL Switchable 3.3V/5V The USB mini to TTL FTDI Board Module FT232RL Switchable 3.3V/5V is a UART (universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter) board used for TTL serial communication. It is a breakout board for the FTDI FT232R chip with a USB interface, can use 3.3 or 5 V DC and has Tx/Rx and other breakout points. Features: This FTDI board is based on FTDI original chip FT232RL. FT232R chips are one of the newer chips manufactured by FTDI (Future Technology Devices International). Apart from being a USB to serial UART, it has an integrated EEPROM and optional clock generator output. The chip also incorporates FTDI Chip-ID functionality (giving each chip a unique identifier for security) and USB termination resistors. Cloned boards (with a cloned chip) will likely exclude the unique ID functionality and does not include an EEPROM, meaning that signals cannot be inverted.

The module has a mini-B USB port which is used to connect to an USB port of an interfaced device (e.g. a PC). On the other side, the FTDI USB to TTL serial converter module has breakout pins (Tx, Rx, Vc and GND) that is connected to a microcontroller’s corresponding pins. Communication takes place using TTL (transistor-transistor logic). It has a 3.3/5V DC jumper and will supply 500mA through its Vc pin.

USB TO UART TTL FTDI 5V 3.3V FT232RL Download Cable To Serial Adapter Module For Arduino The USB TO UART TTL 5V 3.3V FT232RL Download Cable To Serial Adapter Module is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC, Revision 2. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 5V Arduino boards. It can also be used for general serial applications. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector. The pins labelled BLK and GRN correspond to the coloured wires on the FTDI cable. The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND, green is CTS. Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board with your Arduino target. This board has TX and RX LEDs that make it a bit better to use over the FTDI cable. You can actually see serial traffic on the LEDs to verify if the board is working. This board was designed to decrease the cost of Arduino development and increase ease of use (the auto-reset feature rocks!). Our Arduino Pro boards and LilyPad s use this type of connector. One of the nice features of this board is a jumper on the back of the board that allows the board to be configured to either 3.3V or 5V (both power output and IO level). This board ship default to 5V, but you can cut the default trace and add a solder jumper if you need to switch to 3.3V. How to interface with the Pro Mini Module: FTDI—–>Pro Mini GND—->GND VCC—->VCC TX—–> RX RX—-> TX DTR—->GRN Features : Standard interface layout, compatible with a variety of Arduinos such as the Pro Mini Original FTDI FT232 chip, stable performance USB power has current protection, using 500MA self-restore fuse RXD/TXD transceiver communication indicator With power, sending, receiving indicator, working status LED indicators With 3.3V and 5V TTL Level supply options USB to serial TTL module, download STC SCM Mini USB Port Connection Support 3.3V, 5V Package Includes : 1 x USB TO UART TTL 5V 3.3V FT232RL Download Cable To Serial Adapter Module Specifications IC Chip FT232RL Pitch 2.54mm Interface Mini USB Length (mm) 36 Width (mm) 18 Weight (gm) 4 Shipment Weight 0.005 kg Shipment Dimensions 4 × 2.5 × 1.5 cm
