A multi-protocol converter board that supports USB, TTL, RS232, and RS485 interfaces. It can convert signals between any two protocols and supports one input to multiple outputs simultaneously — for example, converting a USB signal to TTL, RS232, and RS485 at the same time.

Based on the FTDI FT232R chip, the board provides reliable serial communication between controllers, computers, and industrial devices. It operates at 3.3V to 5V and includes a power indicator LED.

Note: The board is divided into A and B interface groups. Signals can be converted between A and B groups. Signals within the same group cannot be converted — only one sender per group is allowed, but multiple receivers are supported.

Key Features

  • Multi-Protocol Support – USB, TTL, RS232, and RS485 conversion
  • One-to-Many Output – Single input can drive multiple output protocols simultaneously
  • FT232R Chip – Reliable FTDI USB-to-serial conversion
  • Dual Voltage – 3.3V to 5V operating range
  • Power LED – Onboard power indicator

Specifications

  • Supply Voltage – 3.3V to 5V
  • USB Chip – FTDI FT232R
  • Protocols – USB, TTL, RS232, RS485
  • Dimensions – 52 × 37 mm

Ideal For

  • Serial communication between different protocol devices
  • Industrial equipment interfacing
  • Multi-protocol debugging and development
  • Controller-to-controller communication bridges

Package Contents

  • 1× Multi USB/RS232/RS485/TTL Converter

Resources

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

LED
A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
RS485
RS485 is a robust wired serial communication standard often used in factories, farms, and buildings where cables may be long or electrically noisy. It matters because it lets this controller connect to industrial sensors, meters, and control equipment over longer distances than typical hobby serial wiring.
