![]() ![]() What can the FT232H chip do? This chip from FTDI is similar to their USB to serial converter chips but adds a ‘multi-protocol synchronous serial engine’ which allows it to speak many common protocols like SPI, I2C, serial UART, JTAG, and more! There’s even a handful of digital GPIO pins that you can read and write to do things like flash LEDs, read switches or buttons, and more. Wouldn’t it be cool to drive a tiny OLED display, read a colour sensor, or even just flash some LEDs directly from your computer? Sure you can program an Arduino or Trinket to talk to these devices and your computer, but why can’t your computer just talk to those devices and sensors itself? Well, now your computer can talk to devices using the Adafruit FT232H breakout board! Check out the product description below for more information. This particular model, the Adafruit FT232H is capable of working in USB to SPI, I2C and most importantly, for me anyway, GPIO mode. ![]() What can I say about this little board, it’s FANTASTIC!! All the fun of GPIO without having to purchase and hook up a Raspberry Pi and there is also fantastic support for C# what else could you need.
