FTDI USB UART IC FT232RL' USB to Serial Converter for Development Projects

A handy little gadget, which works fine with Windows and Linux. The transmit and receive LEDs are a useful feature, as is the switch to select 5V or 3.3V.

Good, used for sonoff devices. Easy to use

Allowed me to flash open source firmware into a couple of wifi switches to make them integrate better into my house

Purchased to configure a cheap GPS module from China, and worked perfectly! The item received doesn't quite match the product pictures, but it works. The pins are a bit on the wonky side too, and the CTS pin is off-centre, but that doesn't affect my usage. It might affect yours.

Easy to use straight out of the box. I use it to programme Sonoff devices with Tasmota and burning bootloaders for Arduino type chips. Works well over 115200baud too if you want it to.

It's worth the money. Work as expected I used mainly for Arduino.

Great bit of kit. Don't buy some cheap Chinese fake for £2, pay the extra and get the quality. All my flashing issues have gone. Great product and delivered promptly.

I have used this to flash 3 sonoff plugs with tasmota so far!

Dopo avere perso parecchie ore/giorni per identificare un malfunzionamento di una apparecchiatura da me realizzata, che usava una schedina cinese low cost dichiarata FTDI232 compatibile, che si verificava senza un preciso schema temporale, ho avuto il sospetto che potesse esserne quella la causa. Sostituita con questa "originale", tutto si è messo a funzionare senza intoppi. Morale della favola: non è tutto oro quello che luccica e se dovete realizzare qualcosa di affidabile, usate prodotti di qualità come questo. Non fate come me, che per risparmiare qualche euro ne ho buttati via moltissimi di più in tempo e tribolazioni.

Works great used on a ps3 console repair syscon error readings worked a charm found faults token errors 1002 and 3004 would recommend for diagnosing problems.

Appears to be a rock-solid FTDI chip. Automatically detected by both my Windoze 10 and MacOS 10.12 systems. The supplied little jumper shown in the pictures installed between TXD&RXD is there to check loopback. If your terminal program echoes what you type through its assigned virtual serial port, it’s working properly. Obviously, remove before actual use. Perfect for use for its advertised purpose: a general-purpose firmware loader. However, If your primary use is with Arduino platforms that do not feature their own USB (eg. Arduino Pro Mini and clones, and others): it works fine, with the Arduino IDE & avrdude, *if* you keep in mind: 1. You’ll have to rearrange the order of the pins into the Arduino, as this unit does not follow the “standard” Arduino FTDI pinout ordering. 2. You’ll have to run a extra (preferably green) wire between the unit’s pad labeled “DTR#” and the Arduino’s DTR pin. I soldered a long right-angle pin to the unit’s DTR# pad and created a rearranged female-female 6-conductor cable, observing the “standard” FTDI “green/black” wire color & ordering to minimize the probability of connecting it backwards. Again, if your primary application is Arduino FTDI, there are other, smaller, cheaper, standard-wired, genuine FTDI adapters out there. Nevertheless, I kinda like this one. It’s one of the few FTDI-based adapters to feature a USB Type A” connector, useful if you want to to plug it into your laptop without a USB cable. One nitpick: I would have liked to see a schematic somewhere online, but have not found one, yet. Still, does what it claims, so 5 stars! ----

Es funktioniert sehr gut, ich benutze es selbst, um Sonoff-Geräte zu programmieren.
