This is the documentation page for the FTDI-serial board.

overview

The FTDI-serial board has an USB connector and a 3-pin serial/UART connector. The brains of the PCB is an FT232RL chip.

External resources

pinout

The 3 pin connector is connected as follows

1Ground (G)
2Rx (R)do not drive at 5V level if jumper is set to 3.3v.
probably works if driven at 3.3V with jumper at 5V.
3Tx (T)works at 5V or 3.3V level depening on jumper
4V+5V or 3.3V depending on jumper
  • led1 is connected to CBUS0 (Tx activity)
  • led2 is connected to CBUS1 (Rx activity)
  • led3 is connected to VCC

Jumper settings

IO voltage
1-2: 3V3 (jumper near C2)
2-3: 5V (jumper near the edge of the board

future hardware enhancements

Changelog

2.0
