One notable distinction of this board is that it exposes the DTR pin, rather than the RTS pin, which is typically found on the FTDI cable. The DTR pin enables the automatic resetting of an Arduino when a new Sketch is downloaded, eliminating the need to manually press the reset button. This feature proves highly advantageous, making sketch downloads a seamless process.
The board automatically resets any Arduino model that has a reset pin connected to a 6-pin connector. The pins labeled BLK and GRN correspond to the respective colored wires on the FTDI cable, with black representing GND and green representing DTR. These BLK and GRN pins can be utilized to align the FTDI Basic board with your Arduino target.
