Geekcreit FT232RL FTDI USB To TTL Serial Converter Adapter Module

The FT232RL is one of the more commonly used ICs used to convert USB signals to UART signals. This process is very handy in that it allows you communicate with and upload code to an Arduino or other microcontroller without the need for an external programmer.

• USB power supply, can choose 5V or 3.3V, set by jumper
  
• With over current protection, using 500mA self-restore fuse
  
• Pin definition: DTR, RXD, TX, VCC, CTS, GND
  
• Pitch: 2.54mm
  
• Size: 36 x 18mm (L x W)
  
• Interface: Mini USB
  
  

The USB to TTL serial adapter is based on the high quality and very popular FTDI FT232RL chipset and is an excellent way to connect TTL serial devices to a PC through a USB port.

This USB to TTL serial adapter is ideal for many uses, including:

• Programming microprocessors such as ARM, AVR, etc
• Working with computing hardware such as routers and switches
• Serial communication with many devices such as GPS devices
• Serial terminals on devices like the Raspberry Pi
• Unlike most USB to TTL serial adapters, this adapter supports both 5V AND 3.3V operation! Simply set the jumper as required to choose between 5V and 3.3V as labelled on the board.

The adapter comes with a right-angle connector fitted allowing you to use it straight away. If you need to access any of the other inputs or outputs of the FT232RL, all the useful signals are provided as through-hole solder pads - ideal for use with straight headers into a breadboard, for example.
