    This document provides information about the DFRobot FTDI USB to Serial Basic Breakout Board. It can be used with official Arduino and cloned 3.3V boards to allow uploading sketches without manually pressing the reset button. It uses the DTR pin instead of the RTS pin found on FTDI cables to enable automatic reset. Specifications include 3.3V/5V output that can be switched via jumpers. It is compatible with DFRduino Funnel I/O and 9 DOF IMU units.

    DFRobot FTDI USB to Serial Basic Breakout Board (3.3V/5V)

    Introduction
    This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pinout of this board
    matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 3.3V 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 really 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 labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable. The black wire on
    the FTDI cable is GND, green is DTR. Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board
    with your Arduino target.
    There are pros and cons to the FTDI Cable vs the FTDI Basic. This board has TX and RX LEDs that
    allow you to actually see serial traffic on the LEDs to verify if the board is working, but this board
    requires a miniB cable. The FTDI Cable is well protected against the elements, but is large and cannot
    be embedded into a project as easily. The FTDI Basic uses DTR to cause a hardware reset where the
    FTDI cable uses the RTS signal.
    This board was designed to decrease the cost of Arduino development and increase ease of use (the
    auto-reset feature rocks!). Our Arduino Pro and LilyPad boards use this type of connector.
