Frequently asked questions
Does it work with Windows, macOS and Linux?
FTDI FT232 devices are supported on Windows, macOS and Linux through FTDI virtual COM port drivers, which are commonly available from the manufacturer or built into the operating system.
Can I connect it directly to an Arduino or ESP32?
No. This cable outputs RS232 voltage levels, which can damage 3.3 V or 5 V logic pins. Use a TTL-level USB-to-serial board, such as the FTDI Basic or CP2102 module, for microcontrollers.
