Description

The pinout matches the standard FTDI download cable, making it fully compatible with official and cloned 5V Arduino boards, including Arduino Pro, Pro Mini, and other FTDI-based targets. It can also be used for general-purpose USB-to-serial communication applications.

A key advantage of this module is that it exposes the DTR (Data Terminal Ready) pin instead of RTS. The DTR pin enables automatic reset of the target Arduino during sketch upload, allowing new programs to be uploaded without pressing the reset button. This auto-reset feature works with Arduino boards that have the reset pin available on a 6-pin programming header.

Compact, stable, and easy to use, this FT232RL adapter is an essential tool for developers, students, and hobbyists working with Arduino and embedded systems.
