Description
Converter enables the connection between two popularserial interfaces USB and UART.The module is based on the reliable system FT232RL (documentation) made by the company FTDI, ensures stable operation and cooperation with the most popular operating systems. To connect the system to the computer you needa cord with a mini-usb.
The module can be used to exchange data between the computer and the microcontroller system or for programmingelectronic sets from remote serial interface, e.g.ArduinoorSTM32Discovery.
SparkFun FTDI was developed with programming Arduino in mind. It has automatic restart, and the distance between connectors is suitable for modulesArduino Pro: goldpin female 6 x 1.
Inputs
The module has terminals in the form offemale corner connectors goldpin with signals Rx, Tx, DTR, CTS and power supplylines: PWR (5 V) and GND. The board consists of the status LEDs (TX and RX), allowing you to monitor the status of communications. The converter connects to the computer using acablevia USB.
| The system can be configured so that it also worked with voltage of 3.3 V. This requires soldering the jumper on the back side of the board. |
