Hello...my comments are a little different than your question. The FTDI Friend is a changed out FTDI FT232RL chip connector. Of course, similar to the notable FTDI link, it can give capacity to your task and there are 4 sign lines for sending information to and fro. Be that as it may, the Friend can do considerably more! For instance, you can change the sign and electrical cables to be either 3.3V or 5V.

Hi LS,

Thanks for the info, but for our purposes we try to keep things as simple and straightforward as possible for our users, hence why we recommend the standard FTDI USB to RS232 Serial lead.

Whilst other methods and devices can work, we know by considerable experience that the recommended FTDI cable  does exactly what we need it to do to supply position data to a transponder to generate ADSB Out, or to integrate RS232 data from FLARM units into PilotAware without any extra hassle or complication. We also know that it always works, reliably, without the need for any additional configuration, so let’s just Keep It Simple.

Regards

Peter
