Specifications: USB power has over current protection, using 500MA self-restore fuse. RXD/TXD transceiver communication indicator. Pitch:2.54mm. Please download the driver and files at link: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm Package included: 1 FT232RL USB to TTL Serial Adapter Module Note: This adapter is not genuine FTDI chip because it's based on so cheap a price, so it will be automatically bricked by the latest FTDI drivers in Windows.The fix is to ensure that you use the older version of the FTDI drivers (2.8.3) on windows or use only with Linux or OS X. If you've already bricked it, please follow these instructions at below link (requires a Debian based Linux http://www.minipwner.com/index.php/unbrickftdi000 Tips: 1. You need to use an external power source for the ESP-12 because standard USB doesn't put out enough current, otherwise you'll have problems programming it. 2.Make sure the USB cable you use to connect this to your computer is a data cable, not a charging only cable. If you used it to flash an ESP8266 chip, please check the below steps: 1. Make sure you switch the jumper from the 5v to 3v if working with the ESP8266. 2:Check connections RX to TX, and then TX to RX on this one. 3:Put GPIO0 to ground when powering on to enter Boot/Flashing mode. 4:Remove it from ground after it starts, it only needs to be there to enter flash mode. Use your flasher and upload a .bin If the TX/RX lights would never blink while transfer Removed the DTR-RST connection and pressed the reset on knock off pro mini 5v while compiling then code loaded just fine.
