What boards using the FT232R are built for

FT232R: common questions

Where can I find a FT232R reference design?

Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the FT232R. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.

Which microcontrollers do boards using the FT232R use?

Most are built on AVR/Arduino (1) and NXP (1).

How big is a typical board using the FT232R?

The median is 193 × 184 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the FT232R?

By GitHub stars, SmartSupply by ThomasVDD, with 96 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the FT232R before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
