## Description

The Adafruit CP2102N Friend is a USB-to-serial converter breakout featuring the Silicon Labs CP2102N chip with USB Type-C. It provides reliable serial communication at up to 3 Mbps, making it ideal for uploading firmware to Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and other microcontrollers that use an FTDI-style serial header. The board is configured to match the standard FTDI cable pinout, with 5V power on the power pin and 3.3V signal levels (5V-compliant). It includes auto-reset circuitry for Arduino/ATmega328 boards, so you can upload code without manually pressing the reset button. RX/TX LEDs blink during data transfer for easy debugging. Key Features CP2102N Chip – Up to 3 Mbps transfer speed with reprogrammable settings memory USB Type-C – Modern connector for reliable, reversible connection FTDI-Compatible Pinout – Drop-in replacement for FTDI cables and CP2104-based boards Auto-Reset – Works with Arduino/ATmega328 for one-click uploads 3.3V Signal Levels – 5V-compliant, works with both 3.3V and 5V systems RX/TX LEDs – Visual data transfer indicators Full Modem Control Pins – DTR, RTS, RI, DSR, and more on side pads Driver Support Linux – No driver required (built into kernel) Windows – Automatic driver installation via Windows Update macOS – Driver available from Silicon Labs Ideal For Uploading firmware to Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and other FTDI-port microcontrollers Serial debugging and data monitoring Replacing older FTDI or CP2104-based serial adapters Package Contents 1× Adafruit CP2102N Friend breakout (assembled and tested) 1× Right-angle socket header 1× Male header strip
