 +The FTDI-USB is a board that implements similar functionalities of an [[https://www.digikey.de/product-detail/de/ftdi-future-technology-devices-international-ltd/TTL-232R-3V3/768-1015-ND/1836393|FTDI cable]]. Hosting the [[http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/ICs/DS_FT230X.pdf|FT230X]], the board can basically convert from USB to serial and can be used for the communication with your board, your sensors etc. It is also compatible with [[https://hackaday.com/tag/updi/|UPDI]] programming. The board has been designed in [[https://kicad.org/|KiCAD]] by using the [[https://gitlab.fabcloud.org/pub/libraries/kicad|fab libraries]].
 +
 +Only few components are needed to host the FT230X, as you can see below the **board schematic**:
  
 {{:documentation:electronics:ftdi-usb-sch.png?400|}} {{:documentation:electronics:ftdi-usb-sch.png?400|}}
  
 +The **board layout** is similar to the old FabISP (with fewer components) or a USB drive. Take care the FT230 requires a 0.2mm end mill because of its small package:

 +The board is designed to match the FTDI cable pinout, with the exception that the RTS and the CTS pins are not connected. To have a stable and safe connection be sure to add a small layer underneath the USB plug and to use either an USB extension cable or a USB hub. Below is the **pinout**:
