Customer #649444 on DEV-09873 - SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3VCustomer #649444urn:uuid:75b77a5b-12df-e000-ae46-14161871ef662016-12-04T16:10:41-07:00<p>Not sure why there are two separate versions of these FTDIs. As has been previously pointed out, there is a 3.3V pad and a 5V pad, with the output in the center. The only difference between the FTDIs seem to be where the trace is coming from.<p>I had bought a 3.3V FTDI and I need it to supply power to a 5V Arduino Pro Mini. Per bboyho's post, I cut the 3.3V trace and created a solder bridge between the 5V and center pads. It worked fine, but I still needed 3.3V. So, I mounted a small switch to the FTDI and did some really fine soldering to the pads. It's not pretty but it works like a charm.</p><p><a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B25PgkK_yg13Y0pwRFFERGJYQ0U" rel="nofollow">Image</a></p></p>

Is anyone else having these issues?</p>

Does it change the voltage level of the I/Os ? What happens if i solder the 5V pad ? (since the board is supposed to be a 3.3V board ?! I am confused an no explanation found on this site)</p>

To program the chip I hooked up the FTDI DTR pin to the RST pin via a .iuF capacitor, the FTDI RX pin to the TX pin and the FTDI TX pin to the RX pin on the ATmega328 chip. I didn’t use the 3.3v pin. I used http://www.yuriystoys.com/2012/02/arduino-on-beadboard-uploading-your.html as the starting reference because I couldn’t find clear instructions on SparkFun. I use the Arduino IDE to load the sketch and can monitor serial traffic just as if I were hooked up to an Arduino.</p>

The 5V version only worked when I connected 5V pin to the 5V rail on my breadboard. The 3V3 version didn't work. However, since I've switched cables, both work without connecting the 5V (or 3V3) pin to the breadboard power rail. Problem solved.</p>

I'm using it to communicate with an ATTint4313. The 5V version works fine when the chip is running at 8MHz. Windows loads the driver (Windows bell sound) and I can see text in a Putty window. Perfect.
However, if I switch to 3.3V and try to use the 3V3 version. Windows doesn't even recognize that I've plugged anything in.
Am I missing something here?</p>

Customer #17905 on DEV-09873 - SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout - 3.3VCustomer #17905urn:uuid:a6481340-ad0e-a3f6-4abc-156901dd5d722014-03-11T08:28:36-06:00<p>There really should be an option of connecting 5V ( unregulated 500mA USB ) to the FTDI header and keeping the VCCIO at 3.3V. This would make the circuit identical to the FTDI 3V cable. I don't understand the point of providing the current limited 3V ( that is only intended on driving VCCIO ) to the header.
One great feature of the FTDI pinout is providing the 500mA at 5V USB raw for powering a projects local LDOs to 3.3V on down. This board only supports that if using 5V IO. According to the FTDI232R spec, the 3V3OUT can only provide 50mA. Plugging this 3V board into an FTDI compatible circuit requiring up to 500mA will certainly cause problems for the FTDI232R. I bought one of these and now realize I must hack it up to use it without damaging it.</p>

I recommend you install a <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/553" rel="nofollow">right angle header</a>, 6 pins in length on the end of each of the pro minis. This will keep it low-profile.

Im using an arduino mega as a hydrolic controll system, but it also controls and reads a heater and temp sensor, the temp sensor is the issue as it out puts rs232, i have an rs232 to usb converter. Im hoping that I can use the ftdi basic as the intermediary but the HH42 requires an RTS, so the problem im having is the thermometer doesnt know it is pluged in to the ftdi for lack of this signal. any help would be apreciated</p>

VCCIO is connected to a net labeled 'POWER'. This net is connected to either 5V or 3.3V through the selectable jumper.

This has the same pinout as the explorer regulated, which means output will be going into output and input into input. They won't talk. What you want is a Xbee explorer USB which is an FTDI basic combined with an explorer regulated.<br>

The schematic shows the 3.3v board wired for 5v while the Eagle files shows the 3.3v jumper set. Might be confusing to some people.</p>

Another thing I could not find out here is how to connect an Arduino bootloaded MCU to the DTR.<br>
After a little bit of google search I found out that you need to put a 100 nF capacitor between DTR and the reset pin (pin 1 in case of a atmega328). In my case, just connecting reset and DTR did not work.<br>
Maybe you could put this information into the description.</p>

What is it? 5 V or 3.3?</p>

"The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button."<br>
But really this pcb behaves reverse and I MUST PUSH reset button in order to download a new Sketch. I've tested this with several Arduino boards with the same result.<br>
Can you have a look at this????</p>
