This USB module allows users to interface any 5v or 3.3v microcontroller to communicate with their desktop/laptop environment. Simply insert the USB into any available port on your computer, install the drivers for the chip to be detected and connect four wires to your target device. Your target device can be a ATmega328p that is 3.3v or a 5v Arduino Pro mini. The board has five pins on the other side and on the back the description for each pin. Simply connect RX and TX to your target device with ground and determine what voltage the board operates at. You can use 5v or 3.3v depending on which pin you choose.
