SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3V Development Tool with USB Mini-B Connector Save Space and Money in Your DIY Electronics Projects Pinout of This Board Matches The FTDI Cable
Save space by using this genuine FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC breakout to program your microcontroller
Has TX and RX LEDs that allow you to see serial traffic on the LEDs to verify the board is working
Designed to decrease the cost of (Arduino-compatible) development and increase ease of use. Includes auto-reset feature
The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the black wire on the FTDI cable that is GND, green is DTR
Uses a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact
This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 3.3V Arduino boards. It can also be used for general serial applications. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector.
