FT231X Breakout
 

Introducing the 3.3V FT231X Breakout board, complete with the full UART
hardware handshake feature! The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with
official Arduino and cloned 3.3V Arduino boards. It can also be used for general serial
applications. This board still brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS
pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new
Sketch is downloaded. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be
downloaded without having to hit the reset button. This board will auto reset any Arduino
board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector.

The coolest thing about the FT231X Breakout is that we have broken out ALL the pins
for your use, making this board all the more hackable! 

One of the features of this board is a jumper on the back of the board that allows
the board to be configured to either 3.3V or 5V. This board ship default to 3.3V, but
you can cut the default trace and add a solder jumper if you need to switch to 5V.
It should be noted, however, that the max input of the FT231X is only 3.3V but it can operate down to
1.8V with external pull ups and is also 5V tolerant.
