Pinout:

1. DTR (Data Terminal Ready): This pin is used for programming Arduino boards that require the DTR signal to initiate the bootloader.
2. RXD (Receive Data): Connect this pin to the TX (transmit) pin of the device you are communicating with.
3. TXD (Transmit Data): Connect this pin to the RX (receive) pin of the device you are communicating with.
4. VCC (Power): This is the power supply pin. Connect it to either 3.3V or 5V, depending on your device's voltage requirements.
5. CTS (Clear To Send): This pin is used for hardware flow control. It is often not connected in simple applications.
6. GND (Ground): Connect this pin to the ground of your circuit.
7. RTS (Request To Send): Another pin used for hardware flow control, often left unconnected for basic applications.
8. 5V/3.3V Selector Jumper: The FTDI module has a jumper or switch to select the operating voltage (5V or 3.3V). Make sure it is set correctly based on your application.
