Description

FT232 Converter – FTDI USB/TTL Clone – 5V/3.3V – UART – to Arduino

USB to FTDI converter board.

The converter makes it possible to program microcontroller boards and, for example, MultiWii boards that do not have a USB connector on their board, but only RS232.

Product features

• Ideal module for connecting computer to microcontroller. uSB-UART (RS232 TTL) converter, based on the FTDI FT232RL chip.
• The module has CTS, RX, TX, DTR leads and power supply VCC, GND.
• Thanks to the built-in stabilizer, we have the possibility to choose, using a jumper, the supply voltage of the programmed circuit (5V or 3.3V).
• NOTES:
  • Download drivers from the sites described below
  • Proper connection to the motherboard is very important – any other connection may damage the board electronics or FTDI.
  • Voltage set to 5V by default – can be changed by changing the pin jumper to 3.3V
