Yet Another USB-TTL Adapter with Auto Voltage Sensing
This is a simple open hardware project for a USB-to-TTL serial adapter based on the FTDI FT232RNL chip. The main feature of this adapter is its automatic voltage level detection, supporting TTL I/O levels from 1.8V to 5V without requiring manual jumper selection.
There are many USB-to-TTL adapters available on the market, such as:
- AZDelivery FT232RL Adapter - DSD TECH SH-U09C2 Adapter
