Installing The Micronucleus Bootloader To An ATtiny Via Arduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/installing-the-micronucleus-bootloader-to-an-attiny-via-arduino/
In order to be able to upload Arduino sketches directly to the ATtiny84 over USB without the need to use a programming device, Shawn Hymel, an electrical engineer at Sparkfun Electronics, had published a guide showing how to install the micronucleus bootloader, which supports virtual USB (V-USB), onto an ATtiny84 using Arduino. The Atmel AVR […]

Arduino-compatible touch-enabled display shield from FTDI
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-compatible-touch-enabled-display-shield-ftdi/
CleO is a simple to program, intelligent TFT display solution that allows the construction of human machine interfaces (HMIs) with – says maker FTDI chip – much higher performance than conventional Arduino display shields are able to deliver. by Graham Prophet [via] FTDI first introduced its Arduino-compatible concept – aiming to reach a wider audience […]
Factory programming ESP8266 gadgets
https://www.electronics-lab.com/factory-programming-esp8266-gadgets/
Johan Kanflo’s Esprog pogo pin connector: The FTDI connector can be found on just about any ESP8266 design. If you are building a gadget to be deployed somewhere and not a full blown development board, the FTDI connector is somewhat overkill. And it is quite large. A few pins could be shaved off but we still […]
USB to RS485 converter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/usb-rs485-converter/
Marko Pavlin has published a USB to RS485 converter. He writes: Testing of sensors with RS485 using PC without proper interface is not possible. Since RS232 interfaces are very rare, the interface should be hooked to USB. The interface between USB and RS485 can be soldered with one of the many FTDI interfaces with added […]

Sergey @ malinov.com has build another FTDI FT231X based USB to Serial adapter and provides the design files to the public domain. This adapter allows connecting micro-controller boards that have 5V or 3.3V serial interfaces to a PC USB port. The converter is compatible with FTDI USB TTL Serial cables and SparkFun FTDI Basic breakout board. […]
NerO – An Energy Efficient Arduino UNO Compatible Design
https://www.electronics-lab.com/nero-an-energy-efficient-arduino-uno-compatible-design/
A reference design for an Arduino UNO compatible board based on the FTDI FT231X USB UART, delivers 5V at a full 1A without overheating. The UNO R3 is the staple of most Arduino based projects but it’s been around for a number of years and many of the features have been improved for example by […]
Microcontrollers with USB interface are common, but…
https://www.electronics-lab.com/microcontrollers-with-usb-interface-are-common-but/
FTDI.FT-X series USB to serial bridges can be still reasonable option even for today. Microcontrollers with USB interface are common nowadays. Manufacturers provide source codes for USB device classes like CDC, HID, Mass storage and DFU. . Even in this case, programming USB communications may not be a trivial task. If it is only required […]
