This is the newest revision of our FTDI Basic. We now use a SMD 6-pin header on the bottom, which makes it smaller and more compact. Functionality has remained the same.

This is a basic breakout board for the FTDI FT232RL USB to serial IC. The pinout of this board matches the FTDI cable to work with official Arduino and cloned 5V Arduino boards. It can also be used for general serial applications. The major difference with this board is that it brings out the DTR pin as opposed to the RTS pin of the FTDI cable. The DTR pin allows an Arduino target to auto-reset when a new Sketch is downloaded. This is a really nice feature to have and allows a sketch to be downloaded without having to hit the reset button. This board will auto reset any Arduino board that has the reset pin brought out to a 6-pin connector.

The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the colored wires on the FTDI cable. The black wire on the FTDI cable is GND, green is CTS. Use these BLK and GRN pins to align the FTDI basic board with your Arduino target.

This board has TX and RX LEDs that make it a bit better to use over the FTDI cable. You can actually see serial traffic on the LEDs to verify if the board is working.

This board was designed to decrease the cost of Arduino development and increase ease of use (the auto-reset feature rocks!). Our Arduino Pro boards and LilyPads use this type of connector.

One of the nice features of this board is a jumper on the back of the board that allows the board to be configured to either 3.3V or 5V (both power output and IO level). This board ship default to 5V, but you can cut the default trace and add a solder jumper if you need to switch to 3.3V.

Note: We know a lot of you prefer microUSB over miniUSB. Never fear, we’ve got you covered! Check out our FT231X Breakout for your micro FTDI needs!

Super fun for the dog, but doesn’t last.
Size: Small, Style: Bone, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Small, Style: Bone, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I just ordered the 3 rd one. The bad thing is that my dog destroyed it in 3 hours. Luckily she spits out all the small pieces of plastic. The good thing is, that she gets so much joy out of it, it makes her so happy and tired that I am a fan! Well worth 9$! She is 25lb and I didn’t think she was an aggressive chewer before this toy. If your dog tends to eat all the plastic pieces , don’t get it.

See updated review; destroyed within 15 minutes
Size: Medium, Style: Bow Tie, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I'm bummed. My pup destroyed this within fifteen minutes. I thought because it was made by Kong, it would hold up a little better. I also have their black rubber toys and those are great! Update: I didn't expect to be contacted by the seller but they reached out after seeing my review and offered a full refund which I received quickly. Truly outstanding customer service!!!

Durable Chew Toy with a Fun Design
Size: Medium, Style: Bow Tie, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
The KONG CoreStrength Bow Tie Bone is a playful and sturdy chew toy made to keep dogs busy. Its unique bow tie bone shape makes it easy for dogs to grab and carry, while the reinforced core is built to handle strong chewing. The textured surface not only adds interest but also helps clean teeth and gums during play. It’s tough enough for moderate to heavy chewers and works well for fetch, solo chewing, or tug games. While no toy is completely indestructible, this one holds up longer than many softer toys and gives dogs plenty of chewing satisfaction. Some very aggressive chewers may eventually wear it down, but most dogs will get a lot of use out of it. Pros: The reinforced core makes it more durable than average toys, the textured design supports dental health, and the shape adds variety and fun. Cons: Very heavy chewers may still break it down over time, the toy is fairly heavy for small breeds, and it isn’t designed to bounce or fly like other KONG toys. A strong and engaging chew toy that combines durability with a fun shape. It’s a smart choice for dogs who love to chew and play while also supporting healthier teeth and gums.

Best chew toy for GSD’s
Size: Medium, Style: Bone, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging, Size: Medium, Style: Bone, Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
One of my dogs has chewed through most chew toys for aggressive chewers with ease. This toy not only is still in one piece but still her favorite toy. We’ve gotten her many Kong toys and this one has definitely lasted the longest. She’s been chomping on it for about 2 years now and looks mostly whole.
