FT232RL FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter Module 3.3V ~ 5.5V for Arduino Mini

Description

The FT232RL 3.3V 5.5V FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter Module is a versatile device designed to facilitate communication between a computer and other devices that use TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) serial interfaces. This module utilizes the FT232RL chip, which provides a seamless interface between USB and TTL serial signals. It allows you to connect your Arduino or microcontroller via a USB port, enabling convenient programming and data transfer.

With its wide operating voltage range of 3.3V to 5.5V, this module is compatible with a variety of microcontrollers, including both 3.3V and 5V systems. It supports bidirectional data transfer, allowing you to send and receive data between your computer and the connected device. This board will automatically reset any Arduino board with the reset pin connected to a 6-pin connector.

The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored 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. The module typically features a USB Type-A connector on one end, allowing it to be directly plugged into a computer’s USB port. On the other end, it usually provides a set of pins for connecting to the TTL serial interface of the Arduino or other devices. These pins typically include TX (transmit), RX (receive), VCC (power supply), GND (ground), and sometimes additional control signals such as RTS (Request to Send) and CTS (Clear to Send).
