How to Use

In the case of working with a MCU:

• VCCIO ? 3.3V or 5V output (the module is powered from USB, onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V)
• GND ? GND
• TXD ? MCU.RX (signal direction: MCU.RX << FT232 << PC.TX)
• RXD ? MCU.TX (signal direction: MCU.TX >> FT232 >> PC.RX)
• RTS ? MCU.CTS (signal direction: MCU.CTS << FT232 << PC.RTS)
• CTS ? MCU.RTS (signal direction: MCU.RTS >> FT232 >> PC.CTS)
