Description:
FT232 USB UART Board is a UART module that converts the USB interface to the TTL level. This module enables data communication by connecting the USB interface of a computer or other device to TTL logic-level devices such as microcontrollers, sensors, etc.
Specifications:
- Model: USB to UART TTL
- Power Supply: 5V
- Baudrate: 300bps ~ 3Mbps
- UART: 5V/3.3V
- OS Support: Support Win7/8/8.1/10/11, Mac, Linux, Android, WinCE
Features :
- Original FT232RL onboard
- Supports Mac OS, Linux, Android, WinCE, Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11...
- 3x VCCIO power mode via jumper setting:
- VCCIO - 5V: 5V output
- VCCIO - 3.3V: 3.3V output
- open the jumper: powered from the target board (3.3V-5V)
- 3x LED indicators: TXD, RXD, PWR
- Pins accessible on pin headers: TXD, RXD, RTS#, CTS#
- Other pins are accessible on drilled holes, and easily connected to the user application system (the pin pitch is compatible with the universal prototype board)
Hardware Connection :
- VCCIO ↔ 3.3V or 5V output (the module is powered from USB, and the onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V)
- GND ↔ GND
- TXD ↔ MCU.RX (signal direction: MCU.RX << FT232 << PC.TX)
- RXD ↔ MCU.TX (signal direction: MCU.TX >> FT232 >> PC.RX)
- RTS ↔ MCU.CTS (signal direction: MCU.CTS << FT232 << PC.RTS)
- CTS ↔ MCU.RTS (signal direction: MCU.RTS >> FT232 >> PC.CTS)
