[3DMakerworld] Adafruit FT232H Breakout - General Purpose USB to GPIO+SPI+I2C

Description: [3DMakerworld] Adafruit FT232H Breakout - General Purpose USB to GPIO+SPI+I2C Key Features: Updated in 2020 with a modern USB C connector on the board, a I2C Switch to connect D1 & D1, and 3V power output in New Stemma QT connector lets you plug & play any Stemma QT or Qwiic devices, sensors and displays Back-compatible revision for board size, mounting holes and pinouts FT232H breakout is like adding a little swiss army knife for serial protocols to your computer Wouldn't it be cool to drive a tiny OLED display, read a color sensor, or even just flash some LEDs directly from your computer? Sure you can program an Arduino or Trinket to talk to these devices and your computer, but why can't your computer just talk to those devices and sensors itself? Well, now your computer can talk to devices using the Adafruit FT232H breakout board! What can the FT232H chip do? This chip from FTDI is similar to their USB to serial converter chips but adds a 'multi-protocol synchronous serial engine' which allows it to speak many common protocols like SPI, I2C, serial UART, JTAG, and more! There's even a handful of digital GPIO pins that you can read and write to do things like flash LEDs, read switches or buttons, and more. The FT232H breakout is like adding a little swiss army knife for serial protocols to your computer! This chip is powerful and useful to have when you want to use Python (for example) to quickly iterate and test a device that uses I2C, SPI or plain general purpose I/O. There's no firmware to deal with, so you don't have to deal with how to "send data to and from an Arduino which is then sent to and from" an electronic sensor or display or part.
