Pros & Cons
Pros
This is just nicer all round, from the casing to the switchable voltage and the lights. Well made board with connectors.
Set this to 3. V or 5v. No more shorting stuff on the bench. V 2. V 1. V ttl is selectable.
Cons
The picture shows all bare pins, one expects 9-pins to fit straight into a 9-pin serial socket. Have been sold a pup, no good.
