I tried it out and tried the drivers but found out in the description of the item that it needs the 2.8.3 version of FTDI, I can’t find that anywhere. Could someone help me locate the correct drivers.
When I try to send it to the port I just get the Unable to contact message on COM 4
And could you also recommend me another one that is for sure going to work. I’ll spend the money, I just don’t want to buy from BangGood because it takes forever to ship.
Very cute, but does not provide RTS or DTR signal on a pin to reset an Arduino for programming - in fact only TXD and RXD are in any way at all accessible.
It can apparently provide up to 100 mA on the 3.3 V output. You do not get to choose the logic levels for TXD and RXD.
Well that's your FTDI again (and even claimed to be "genuine" which it would certainly want to be for the rapacious price), but it has a selectable logic level and all the handshake pins are available. And a gold plated border!
I like the Ch340e based modules, which include a proper micro usb-b connector...
If it “needs” an old rev driver, that probably means it has a fake chip. I haven’t noticed any recent developments, but looking up “ftdigate” might be amusing...
I’m confused if you said that that was a good one to get or not? The gold plated one (FTDI)
whenever people give options for different models and stuff like the Ch340e or the PL2303 I can’t find any of these anywhere. I’m trying to get my stuff my Monday because that’s when everything else gets shipping here, but I have no idea where to find these USB to Serials. Could someone give me some links or something?
I have tried the newest driver and it just won't send stuff to that port.
I get the Error of not able to send stuff to COM 3 or it just wont upload and just sits there. And thats after I tried the unbricking method with the old drivers.
That's what I had plugged in to get the driver data above.
The MIKROE-483 showed the same.
My latest custom project was using 3 of them - one to have PC/Win10 talk to '1284P chip on Serial for status monitoring, another for 1284P Serial1 to talk to an RPi4, and a third on Serial out of a Sparkfun fingerprint scanner to talk to the RPi.
I have a couple more at the ends of cables that are used to load code into various boards while testing/debugging.
Do you have Atmel Studio installed also? In the past, it would install some Jungo driver that interfered with the IDE trying to use the FT232. Had to do some fooling with uninstalling it in Device Manager so that the IDE could use FT232 correctly.
I stopped using Atmel Studio years ago, it would take forever to start up, just intolerable waiting for it.
