I keep digging and I found this information on System Information about Frearduino:
FT232R USB UART:
Product ID: 0x6001
Vendor ID: 0x0403 (Future Technology Devices International Limited)
Version: 6.00
Serial Number: A103SY11
Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: FTDI
Location ID: 0x14200000 / 6
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 90
Extra Operating Current (mA): 0
I read when your Arduino board is FTDI you must use a different method is that right? Could you guide me in the simplest way to accomplish this task? Take into account I don´t have a FTDI cable I just have to wire them up as usually.
Thanx in advance to all of you.
