# USB2Serial project
USB to Serial board came as a helping board for my another my project.
I had to program a number of cheap Arduino Pro Mini clone boards in a row.
The problem I was having was to mix up cable all the time.
I decided to fix this issue once and for all by creating a simple USB to Serial interface board which will connect directly with Arduino Pro Mini correctly.
## USB2Serial_CH340G_v1.2
**USB2Serial_CH340G_v1.2** is a simple USB to Serial board based on CH340G chip, created especially to fit well with Arduino Pro Mini boards.
Preview:
[Schematics in PDF format](doc/USB2Serial_CH340G_v1.2.pdf)
Features:
- based on very cheap CH340G chip
- locked pins for Pro Mini
- configurable for 5V and 3.3V
CAM files are available.
BoM and PnP files for JLCPCB are available.
## USB2Serial_FT232RL_v1.0
**USB2Serial_FT232RL_v1.0** is a simple USB to Serial board based on FT232RL chip, created especially to fit well with Arduino Pro Mini boards.
Preview:
[Schematics in PDF format](doc/USB2Serial_FT232RL_v1.0.pdf)
Features:
- based on more common FT232RL chip
- locked pins for Pro Mini
- configurable for 5V and 3.3V
CAM files are available.
BoM and PnP files for JLCPCB are available.
## USB2Serial_CP2102_v1.0
**USB2Serial_CP2102_v1.0** is a simple USB to Serial board based on CP2102 chip, created especially to fit well with Arduino Pro Mini boards.
Preview:
