Over the past few years I have purchased seven of this adapters. I find them very useful, built with quality and well supported. Why buy 7? Each has been used on a different project (projects with FPGAs, Raspberry Pis and generic Arduino boards). I find the USB side works well with Windows and Linux --and-- the digital side works well with 5v and 3.3v. When I have asked questions back to DSD, I have gotten prompt, useful answers. Call me a happy customer.

Works well right out of the box. No issue for Arduino on MacBook Pro to detect the serial port and communicate with the target board. A connector is provided for simple loop-back tests to verify everything works fine.Make sure to connect GND to the target board, otherwise the link is not stable.Don't waste time and money to try other USB-serial adaptors. This one works!

I spent the good part of a week looking for the AP-CBL-SER cable from Aruba to be able to console into some access points that had issues connecting to my controllers. After talking with an Aruba reseller and an Aruba account manager, I found that Aruba discontinued the AP-CBL-SER cable. On the Aruba Airheads Community, I saw a reference to another USB to TTL adapter, but decided to go with this one since it was in a protective plastic housing and it also came with a jumper cable. I was able to troubleshoot and get the 4 questionable access points back into production.

Me gusta que puedas escoger tension de salida. Lo compre para un Esp32 Cam y va perfecto.

I used it to program my ESP 32 boards, and it worked wonderfully, the box is so much more sturdy than just having another bare chip lying around and for what it does I think the price is exactly right.(The spare jumper is v. useful for connecting the 32CAM 0 to ground whilst uploading too)

I have a pile of assorted serial adapters sitting all over the place on my workbench, and I almost never use them. Either they're loose wires with unlabeled cables, or they're 5v when I need 3v3, or the power is unlabeled as well! Or my workspace is so chaotic that yet another bare board is just a recipe for shorting out my computer's USB port.This, however, is really the only device that I should have. It appears to be a genuine FTDI chip (0403:6001), with selectable power and logic levels. The pins are clearly labeled, and it comes with a set of Dupont wires. The whole thing is wrapped up in a plastic case that keeps it and your computer safe from the other stuff on the workbench. Lastly, LED indicators for power, RX, and TX help you to identify connection problems.I would appreciate maybe a little more shrouding around the pins and jumpers, but what I'd *really* like is if all my other serial adapters turned into these.

I bought this after my prior (allegedgely 3.3V) serial cable stopped working after being connected to a 3.3V system. This is very nicely made -- it's enclosed in a clear enclosure (no worries about stray wires shorting out while tinkering) and lets you select 1.8, 3.3, or 5V out (no 2.5, though DSD has another unit that adds 2.5V as well.) A cable is inclued that connects to the I/O header on the end of the USB adapter that is terminated in 1x1 female header pins -- it's about a foot long. While I'm not a fan of blinky lights, at least you'll know this adapter is working. I've had no issues working with a Raspberry Pi as a console cable and also programmed a 2.5V arduino-type microcontroller successfully. I use Linux and no drivers were required out of the box, just plug an play.
