## Description

The SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout provides USB-to-serial conversion using the FTDI FT232RL IC, operating at 3.3V logic levels. Its 6-pin header matches the standard FTDI pinout, making it compatible with Arduino Pro, LilyPad, and other 3.3V boards that use the FTDI connector. The board brings out the DTR pin rather than RTS, enabling auto-reset on compatible Arduino boards when uploading sketches — no need to press the reset button manually. TX and RX LEDs provide visual confirmation of serial traffic. Key Features FTDI FT232RL – Reliable USB-to-serial UART conversion 3.3V Logic Level – Matches 3.3V Arduino boards and other targets DTR Pin – Enables auto-reset for sketch uploads on compatible boards TX/RX LEDs – Visual indication of serial communication SMD 6-Pin Header – Compact form factor with standard FTDI pinout Mini-B USB Connector – Standard USB connection to host computer Pin Alignment The pins labelled BLK and GRN correspond to the black (GND) and green (DTR) wires on a standard FTDI cable. Use these markings to align the board with your target's 6-pin connector.
