FTDI FT230XS
Intro
I made this board because I can't find the one I want at the market.
Here is the features of this board that fulfill what I need, or what I looking for :
- Using a type B usb socket, so will be more durable
- Using a 3v3 voltage regulator, so it won't draw current from FT230's internal regulator which is very small and not intended for powering external circuit
- Have a switch to turn off the VCC pin so it can be used directly with circuits that have its own power source
