This is a FTDI FT232RL usb/serial chip embedded in a cable that has a 6-pin socket at the end. These are perfect for use with a Boarduino, Meggy's, or other Arduino clones, and Fuzeboxen. Useful whenever you want to communicate with a TTL serial device, such as an XPort, GPS, XBee or SIM module through a breakout board. You can also easily modify this cable into a Propeller chip programmer (note that the YBox2 kit does not require a programmer to change widgets).

The version we have is the 3.3V (we used to carry the 5.0V) the only difference is that the 3.3V cable sends data signals at 3.3V levels instead of 5V. It is 5V compliant which means that it can receive 5V signals no problem. The power line still provides 5V. Basically, it works just as good as the 5.0V version, but is better for projects and devices that need 3.3V signals.

You can download the drivers and datasheet direct from FTDI

HOW TO – Make an Xbee wireless temperature sensor
Chaaaaaaaz shows you make an Xbee wireless temperature sensor! Here is a python script I have been using to test the analog pin functions on the Xbee with the TMP36 temperature sensor. (all from the Adafruit shop). This code is from the Tweet-a-Watt page with temperature reading at the very end
Solar-Powered temperature sensor
Steve writes… In case you’ve not heard, there is a Green Revolution in progress. To quote a popular commercial, “The way we use energy now can’t be the way we use it in the future. It’s not conservation, or wind, or solar. It’s all of it.” I have long kept a solar-energy read more...

Mikey writes – Have you ever wanted to monitor how much voltage/current your small PV solar panels are producing? It is easy enough with a multi-meter, but what if you just want to monitor it remotely and log the data on your computer.

Xbee wireless radio module
Jeez, this photo almost looks computer generated… from adafruit.com/xbee this is one half of a two-way radio data link. photo: oly e3, 50mm f2.0 macro lens, raw capture mode and 2 passes of ‘neatimage’ for noise reduction (gives it that almost-synthetic clean look). subject was shot inside a DIY lightbox with a sheet of black plastic read more...
