USB Serial Adaptor - with either micro USB or USB-C connector.

Using jumper wires it can be used for Arduino programming (using RTS for reset), etc.

We use through hole connections on both micro USB and 6 way 0.1" header socket for a more robust product over the surface mount alone.

Pinout	Description
RTS	Request to send
RX	Receive (connect to remote TX)
TX	Transmit (connect to remote RX)
5V	5V supply
CTS	Clear to send
GND	Ground

The following baud rates are supported

Baud rate	Miss rate (%)
2,400	0.16
4,800	0.16
9,600	0.04
19,200	0.04
38,400	0.16

This board can only be used with systems using 5 volts, connecting to those using higher/lower voltages may result in damage.

The IC is used in the adapter enumerates as a Communication Device Class (CDC) device which modern (Win10/Linux/Mac OS X) operating systems have built in drivers for.

Ideal for use with the RC2014 range from RFC2795 Ltd.

Best FTDI USB for rc2014

The best FTDI USB adapter for rc2014

Works beautifully. I cannot find a cheaper model anywhere that can replace this unit

Perfect sized

A very small device. Works out of the box. Used in a prototype to power a 3.3V LDO and a buck converter (variable 3V - 3.9V).

Does what it needs to

Nice serial adapter, small size but it works great. Nice serial adapter, small size but it works great.

Super small

Lovely bit of kit and a lovely set of stamps on the envelope. Works perfectly, ideal for serial coms to a RC2014 system

Works as advertised.

Works as advertised. Just make sure you use a data-capable USB cable! First couple of times I tried using this equipment with a charge-only cable, with less than stellar results.

Neat Serial Adaptor for RC2014/Arduino systems

Arrived quickly, works well. Provides a robust connection compared to commonly used cable and FTDI board arrangement.
If you encounter a problem getting these to work with Windows or OSx, check that the USB cable is not just a charging cable, obviously it needs to be fully connected. I had this problem and support from 8086 was quick and helpful. Recommended.

Excellent bit of kit. Does what you'd expect, no fuss

Cheap, simple, reliable, small. Not much more you can ask for in a USB to Serial adapter. It just works. No drivers to install on Window or Linux (Probably same for Mac, although I haven't tried). Standard FTDI style pinout and 5v power makes it for running things like the RC2014 kits. Oh, and super quick delivery too!
