The FTDI cable is a USB to Serial (TTL level) converter which allows for a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB. The I/O pins of this FTDI cable are configured to operate at 5V.
The FTDI cable is designed around an FT232RQ, which is housed in a USB A connector. The other side of the cable is terminated with a 0.1" pitch, 6-pin connector with the following pinout: RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND (RTS is the green cable and GND is black).
Cable works great, but wish the colors were standard
I am not an electronics chap by a long shot, just needed a cable to complete my EQ mount setup, so needed to build my eqdir cable
Which is pretty straightforward if you have standard colors to play with, check here: http://eq-mod.sourceforge.net/eqdirect2.htm
But remapping the colors by looking at the spec wasnt that tough, so if I can do it, anyone can
Overall works as expected, build is good and price is fantastic. Thanks
Case is nice and sturdy all ports are perfectly aligned it has enough room for hat , especially if you want use Geekworm X1002 PCIe to M.2 2280 hat for nvme.
The only thing is missing is heat dissipation cut outs on the top of the case , If it has heat dissipation holes on the top it will be much better however case is having many cutout on the front bottom and right side but , for active cooler to release instant heat top side cutout will be much better .
Next thing it will be better If it comes with rubber feet so that in case we don't want to mount on wall we can place on table little bit risen up from the surface.
It comes with rail mount and wall mount which is very good.
with offical RPI5 active cooler and if cooler is not running (only passive heat release)the ideal temp of pi 5 stays around 53 degree Celsius when room's ambient temperature is around 18 degrees , and its running on raspberry pi os .
what will be the temp. on summers that i yet to experience.
