SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3V Development Tool with USB Mini-B Connector

Key Features Basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC  Newest revision of the FTDI Basic Designed to decrease the cost of Arduino development and increase ease of use TX and RX LEDs allow you to see serial traffic on the LEDs to verify if the board is working This is the newest revision of the FTDI Basic. The SMD 6-pin header on the bottom makes it smaller and more compact. Functionality has remained the same.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
