Description
FT232RL FTDI USB to TTL Serial IC Adapter Converter Module
The USB TO UART TTL 5V 3.3V FT232RL Download Cable To Serial Adapter Module is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC, Revision 2. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 5V 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 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.
The pins labelled BLK and GRN correspond to the coloured wires on the FTDI cable. The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND, green is CTS. Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board with your Arduino target.
This board has TX and RX LEDs that make it a bit better to use over the FTDI cable. You can see serial traffic on the LEDs to verify if the board is working.
This board was designed to decrease the cost of Arduino development and increase ease of use (the auto-reset feature rocks!). Our Arduino Pro boards and LilyPads use this type of connector.
One of the nice features of this board is a jumper on the back of the board that allows the board to be configured to either 3.3V or 5V (both power output and IO level). This board ship defaults to 5V, but you can cut the default trace and add a solder jumper if you need to switch to 3.3V.

Customer Reviews
worked perfectly with me on changing firmware on Sonoff devices to tasmota
Allowed me to upload code to my Esp8266-01s for the first time!Note: it does not come with the "mini usb" cable. Also do not confuse the "mini usb" for a "micro usb".
Worked as expected. No issues with it whatsoever.
Worked well
Does the job it was purchased for.Just set voltage jumper to 3.3V and connect:GND to GNDVCC to 3.3VTX to RXRX to TXDTR to DTR
3.3V - 5V dip switch controlled power output option helped me Tasmotize my Sonoff.Note: Sonoff needs only 3.3V and a 5V input may damage it.
Works as advertised.
Nice piece of hardware.
Great price and works great
This worked great deploying configs to my Arduino pro micro without usb. I love that because it is so small.
