There are pros and cons to the FTDI Cable vs the FTDI Basic.
Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board with your Arduino target. The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND, green is DTR. The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable.
This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. It can also be used for general serial applications. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 3.3V Arduino boards. This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. We now use a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact. The FTDI Basic uses DTR to cause a hardware reset where the FTDI cable uses the RTS signal.ĭescription: This is the newest revision of our FTDI Basic. The FTDI Cable is well protected against the elements, but is large and cannot be embedded into a project as easily. The FTDI Basic has great LED indicators, but requires a Mini-B cable.
For use with those boards, align the black and green wires of the FTDI cable with the ‘BLK’ and ‘GRN’ labels on the PCB. This cable has the same pinout and functionality as our FTDI Basic Breakout board you can use it to program your Arduino Pro, Pro Mini andLilypad. The other side of the cable is terminated with a 0.1" pitch, 6-pin connector with the following pinout: RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND (RTS is the green cable and GND is black). The FTDI cable is designed around an FT232RQ, which is housed in a USB A connector. The I/O pins of this FTDI cable are configured to operate at 5V. Description: The FTDI cable is a USB to Serial (TTL level) converter which allows for a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB.
