The Original FT232RL Onboard is a USB to serial converter module that supports various operating systems, including Mac, Linux, Android, WinCE, Windows 7/8/8.1/10. The module offers 3 power modes: 5V output, 3.3V output, or powered by the target board (3.3V-5V). The module features 3 LEDs: TXD LED, RXD LED, POWER LED.
The TXD, RXD, RTS#, and CTS# pins are connected to the onboard soldered pin headers, while the other pins are accessible via drill holes. Separate pin headers are also provided for easy connection to the user system, with a pitch compatible with breadboards.

How to Use
In the case of working with a MCU:
- VCCIO - 3.3V or 5V output (the module is powered from USB, onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V)
- GND - GND
- TXD - MCU.RX (signal direction: MCU.RX << FT232 << PC.TX)
- RXD - MCU.TX (signal direction: MCU.TX >> FT232 >> PC.RX)
- RTS - MCU.CTS (signal direction: MCU.CTS << FT232 << PC.RTS)
- CTS - MCU.RTS (signal direction: MCU.RTS >> FT232 >> PC.CTS)
