Pros & Cons
Pros
Follow the instructions for resuscitating my router. Gnd to gnd, rx to rx, and tx to tx. The esp32 dev c board uses the cp2102 chip.
One of the best $7. Esp8266 boards i screw around with. Comes in enclosed plastic case, preventing shorts or accidental contact with metal objects.
Cons
No /dev/cu device showing up in the list of available devices. Why the manufacturer used a cloudy case instead of clear plastic is beyond my comprehension.
Highlights
Quality
This is a high quality component for use in production of any product where usb/ttl is desired.
Works as expected, i used to program a couple of arduinos mini pro and have no issues at all, used on linux and windows 10
Cables are far to short to be practical for a desktp in a hard to reach place and the reach a router, or intended use
Update: died after about a year of use.
Price
I really like how affordable this item was.
Time will tell how long this will last, but for the price you can't beat it.
Frankly, i bougt it because it was inexpensive, but devices twice the price couldn't have worked any better.
Shipping
My router, through this little adaapter, was talking to me sending to my notebook all kinds of cryptic linux status messages.
It took all but a short two minutes to get this done.
Packaging/appearance
Dsd tech usb to ttl serial converter cp2102 came nicely packed without any damage.
It comes in an enclosed plastic case that you can take off easily.
Competitiveness
We use other dsd tech components as well.

As it is i had to take it on faith that it was working and only knew after a lot of steps each of which could have gone wrong id soldered a bunch of wires on the target circuit and used external programming software

Fortunately i got lucky the wiring right and esphome programming worked but if it had failed its difficult to figure out if the error is in the usb the wiring or the target device or software

Still having issues with the wt32 but i dont think thats related to this programmer

Similar devices may be okay for hobby work but if you are producing a product and need a 100 reliable build component dsd tech is the way to go
