Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between 3.3 V and 5 V?
The listing says the board supports both target voltages, but it does not describe the selection method. Check the board's voltage setting before connecting, and never feed 5 V logic into a 3.3 V-only pin.
Does it need a driver?
The FT232RL handles the USB protocol on-chip, so no firmware programming is needed. Some operating systems may still require the FTDI virtual COM port driver before the port appears.
