The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable. This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable.

It can also be used for general serial applications. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 3.3V Arduino boards. This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. We now use a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact. The FTDI Basic uses DTR to cause a hardware reset where the FTDI cable uses the RTS signal.ĭescription: This is the newest revision of our FTDI Basic. The FTDI Cable is well protected against the elements, but is large and cannot be embedded into a project as easily. The FTDI Basic has great LED indicators, but requires a Mini-B cable. There are pros and cons to the FTDI Cable vs the FTDI Basic. For use with those boards, align the black and green wires of the FTDI cable with the ‘BLK’ and ‘GRN’ labels on the PCB.

This cable has the same pinout and functionality as our FTDI Basic Breakout board you can use it to program your Arduino Pro, Pro Mini andLilypad. 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). The FTDI cable is designed around an FT232RQ, which is housed in a USB A connector. The I/O pins of this FTDI cable are configured to operate at 5V. It is probably extremely unlikely that Microchip will send legal notice to DWR regrading this matter however, that does not make it correct to do.Description: The FTDI cable is a USB to Serial (TTL level) converter which allows for a simple way to connect TTL interface devices to USB. A company must act to protect its trademarks, or it stands to loose them. Microchip sued and settled in its favor to protect its copyright/trademark.

To illustrate that, there used to be a series of tutorial books called "Easy PIC'n" or something like that. While I agree that the loss of income from PICkit3 sales is probably insignificant, loss of those trademarks would not be insignificant. One very important business consideration you have not mentioned is protection of Microchip's trademarks, such as "PIC," "PICkit3," and so forth. A clone made in a purple square box would work the same.

(We have not ruled out that Microchip may have a license agreement that allows this clone to be produced and sold although, that is probably unlikely.) Not a single one for the reasons you give to justify the cloning would justify the copying of the color, shape, or name. However, copying the Microchip design, package, color and name PICkit3 is what constitutes theft, if it is done without agreement from Microchip.

Microchip even tells the world how to do it. There is no argument from me or Microchip that others can make PIC programmers completely legally and sell them for whatever price they want. I don't believe you are in a position to make that business decision for Microchip. I won't spoil the fun of reading it by giving the answer. The case is very complicated and has finally been decided at the US Supreme Court. Wiley believed that violated its copyrights. An entrepreneur decided to buy a lot of them overseas, import them into the US as "used," and resell on college campuses. Wiley sells books (e.g., textbooks) overseas at substantially less than in the USA. One cannot legally buy drugs overseas and resell them at reduced prices in the USA.Ī less clear case has to do with the "second sell" of books. Patients, of course, can go to other countries ("medical tourism") and seek the cheaper therapies, but then they also give up some of the benefits of being treated in the US. It is still illegal to import and use those drugs. In the US, some drugs and medical devices are very expensive compared to the same drugs/devices in other countries. The UK is not unique in having some products cost more there than elsewhere. I miss the point between "cost" justifying "theft."
