USB to TTL

Description

The USB to TTL FT232 is a USB-to-serial converter module that uses the FTDI FT232 chip to convert USB signals to TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) level serial communication. This module is commonly used to interface USB-enabled devices with TTL serial devices, such as microcontrollers and development boards. It provides a convenient way to connect devices that use TTL serial communication to a computer via a USB port.
