# ESP32

De ESP32 is een budgetserie van laag-vermogen microcontrollers met geïntegreerde Wi-Fi en dual-mode Bluetooth. De ESP32-serie maakt gebruik van een Tensilica Xtensa LX6- microprocessor in zowel dual-core als single-core uitvoering. De ESP32 is gemaakt en ontwikkeld door Espressif Systems, een in Shanghai gevestigd Chinees bedrijf, en wordt vervaardigd door TSMC met behulp van hun 40nm-proces. Het is een opvolger van de ESP8266 microcontroller. Deze microcontroller is erg populair bij hobbyisten voor het ontwikkelen van Internet of things applicaties.

De ESP32 is verkrijgbaar in diverse uitvoeringen. Zelf heb ik een ESP32 Wroom 32D (38 pins) aangeschaft om mee te experimenteren.

# FT232RL 3.3V 5V FTDI USB To TTL Serial Adapter Module

The USB to TTL serial adapter is based on the high quality and very popular FTDI FT232RL chipset and is an excellent way to connect TTL serial devices to a PC through a USB port.

Works perfectly wth the Arduino Pro mini boards and ESP8266 boards

Ideas for many uses, including:

- Programming microprocessors such as ARM, AVR, etc
- Working with computing hardware such as routers and switches
- Serial communication with many devices such as GPS devices
- Serial terminals on devices like the Raspberry Pi

  
This adapter supports both 5V AND 3.3V operation! Simply set the jumper as required to choose between 5V and 3.3V as labelled on the board.

The adapter comes with a right-angle connector fitted allowing you to use it straight away. If you need to access any of the other inputs or outputs of the FT232RL, all the useful signals are provided as through-hole solder pads – ideal for use with straight headers into a breadboard, for example.

The main connector has 6 pins:

[![ft232rl-aansluiting.png](https://www.linuxfun.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/scaled-1680-/ft232rl-aansluiting.png)](https://www.linuxfun.nl/uploads/images/gallery/2023-09/ft232rl-aansluiting.png)

- DTR: Data Terminal Ready – an output used for flow control
- RX: Serial data Receive pin
- TX: Serial data Transmit pin
- VCC: Positive voltage output – this is controlled by the jumper. If the jumper is set to 5V, this will provide a 5V output. If the jumper is set to 3.3V, this will provide a 3.3V output.
- CTS: Clear To Send – an input used for flow control
- GND: Ground or 0V

For most uses, you can simply connect the following pins:

- RX on this board to the TX pin on your device
- TX on this board to the RX pin on your device
- GND on this board to GND on your device

**FEATURES**

- Support 3.3V, 5V
- Chipset FT232RL
- USB power has over current protection, using 500MA self-restore fuse
- RXD/TXD transceiver communication indicator
- Pin definition: DTR,RXD,TX,VCC,CTS,GND
- Pitch:2.54mm
- Module size: 3.60cm x 1.85cm (L x W)
