Hi,
I'm trying my first arduino project and needed a second usb to serial port (as first one is blocked for programming) where I want to connect a ble board which also uses a usb port with serial communication therefore I ordered a “SparkFun USB to Serial Breakout - FT232RL“ board. Unfortunately looking at the schematic I'm completely lost on which pins I have to connect to the Redboard I ordered to get a second usb port. I know this is a really newbie question but I really can't read the schematic (although I understand it partly) and don't know how to get the information on how to connect this thing as it has so many pins and multiple tx/rx connectors. Thanks for any help on this.
