From that sheet it looks like a usb interface for a microcontroller... Dont know mutch more but it looks cool..

It is a carrier board for FTDI's USB chip. You can use it to design devices that communicate with the PC via the USB port. The TX and RX lines can connect directly to your Microcontroller's serial bus. FTDI is a nice development platform since they provide the drivers needed for the computer.

Did you say you got this for free? How do I get one? Does FTDI have a free samples link?

No. I was told they do not give them away as samples. They were actually very rude in their response. I even used my business email for the request.
Thanks anyways.
