Installing FTDI Drivers
Step #1 is to plug in your FTDI adapter and install the driver (in case it isnt on there
already). If you have an FTDI cable proper, there is already a USB A connector on the end.
If you have an FTDI adapter, you'll need a standard mini-B cable, pretty much everything
uses these so steal your camera's or cell phone's data cable.
If you are using Windows or Mac OS, you may need to need to download the FTDI
driver (http://adafru.it/aJv) if you haven't already installed it for another project. If you are
using Linux, the driver is already built in to the operating system (handy!)
Next up, plug it into your computer! If you are using Windows you may hear a sound from
the computer and a little popup bubble in the bottom right corner of the screen that says
Found New Hardware FT232R USB UART.
