FTDI USB to Serial converter cable

Post by mill383 »

I'm a sucker for minimalist equipment, and even though I recently purchased a USB to RS232 converter from the DIYAutoTune guys (and it works great) when I ran across this integrated chip set and cable unit, I just about fell out of my chair. Nice little package, if it works.

As anyone tried it?

It's not a USB to RS232 cable but a USB to TTL serial. For it to work with the Microsquirt, you'd have to remove the RS232 chip and jumper its inputs to the outputs.
