Overview

This repository includes the Eagle design files (schematics and layout) for our FT232RL Brekout Board. The FT232RL is a popular Integrated Circuit (IC) that provides a single-chip USB to asynchronous serial data (UART) transfer interface. This IC is commonly known as the FTDI chip as it’s manufactured by Future Technology Devices Internationa (FTDI).

The FT232RL is extremely useful for sending data back and forth between a PC and a microcontroller (such as the ATMega328p that’s used in the Arduino Uno R3). It can even be used to program a microcontroller whose boot section has been pre-loaded with a bootloader (e.g., Optiboot).
