All good, but missing basic instructions...
Arrived as promised.Board comes covered with transparent heat shrink plastic to protect it from short circuits which is good.Seller sent out lots of spec sheets attached to the dispatch confirmation email which is helpful, but these didn't say anything about how to use it.To save you some time, here is the missing info on using this USB converter with the 6 pins on the end of the Arduino (I am using a Pro Mini)...1) Use only one of the 3V3 or 5V pins to connect to the Arduino VCC pin (to match your Arduino voltage) and Gnd goes to Gnd on both.2) Swap TX and RX leads between USB board and Arduino (TXD goes to RXI, and RXD goes to TXO)3) This board lacks a DTR pin, so when programming your Arduino, if your PC just sits with "Uploading" message, then next time press the reset button on the Arduino as soon as the red LED on the USB board comes on.Once I figured the lead swapping and reset button pressing, everything seems to work well.

Works without problems on Windows 10
Good cheap board that works without problems (unlike a lot of the FDTI fakes that I've had in the past). The only criticism I have is that the mechanical mounting of the USB plug is weak and is just relying on the electrical contacts. This can be fixed by soldering down the two mounting lugs that are on either side of the plug - I do this on every board I get now. I like it so much that I've ordered 30 in total - at that price you can't go wrong or have enough of them knocking around.

Brought a camera back to life
Excellent product - I had a dead Neos Smartcam but with one of these and lots of info from the web I was able to reflash the firmware and now camera works again - happy!

Superb Value
Works well and are doing the job I got them for. No problem connecting at either end, the set of flying leads supplied with the converter were just the job. Great customer service.

Awful, overheat and break really easily
One board overheated and broke as soon as i plugged it in, the second worked for about 2 hours then did exactly the same thing. I will be buying more but definitely not these ones
