It belongs with the usb & debug tools designs in this gallery.

From the project

FTDI helper for the future. With FT230X, blinky lights and USB-C!

FTDI helper for the future. With FT230X, blinky lights and USB-C! Also potentially the tinyest USB-C to Serial adapter in the world. :smiley:

Got a smaller USB-C to serial adapter? Please send me a link!

See [Octopart][octopart] for a detailed list with links. With current prices this totals to ~4.50€ just for parts excluding costs for the PCB manufacturing. If you need a PCB, just ask. I have lots of them. :)
