Notify me when its in stockFTDI Friend is a finely tuned FTDI FT232RL chip adapter. Like the well-known FTDI cable, it can provide power to your project and has 4 signal lines to send data back and forth, but the Friend can do much more! For example, you can change the signal and power lines to be 3.3V or 5V. Arduino derivatives and XBees use the RTS line for programming, but what if you need that DTR line? It's there for you.
By default, we've set it up to match our FTDI cables. The 6th pin is RTS (perfect for uploading to 'inos), the power wire is +5V, and the signal levels are 3.3V (5V compliant, and should work in the majority of 3.3V and 5V signal systems).
And, of course, we added a little extra - in this case, extra-long headers that you can use to attach it to a breadboard. It also has 2 red and green LEDs already onboard that can blink. By the way, the USB connection point on the board is a Mini-B type.
