This is the newest revision of our [FTDI Basic](https://www.sparkfun.com/products/retired/8772). We now use a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact. Functionality has remained the same.
This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cabl
