FTDI Breakout Board for Microcontroller

Description

The FTDI is a USB-to-serial (TTL) converter for serial communication with devices like the Pro and Pro Mini boards. The board uses the popular FT232RL chip from FTDI. VCC pin can be configured as 3.3 or 5 V by placing a jumper; this allows the board to be used with boards that operate on either 3.3 or 5 V nominal voltage The FTDI board is designed for flexible connections to other boards; its female header connects easily to the male pin header of the Pro; furthermore, connecting the provided male pin headers to the female pin header allows connections to pinout of the Pro Mini; the male pin headers can also be soldered to the FTDI board to make it breadboard mountable.
