 The board works with standard micro USB cables - I prefer the flexible nylon cables like [http://www.amazon.com/Charger-iSeeker-Charging-Aluminum-Connectors/dp/B017OY19TU?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 THESE] or [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RB6881Y THESE] are nice too.

 === Drivers ===
 First, connect the board by itself to the PC/MAC via the micro USB connector.  The driver will probably install automatically, but if there's a problem the driver can be downloaded [http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm | HERE]  Note that the Virtual Com Port (VCP) driver should be installed.

-This board's core function is to covert a USB connection from a PC/MAC into a Serial (UART) interface to a microcontroller.  It also supports Arduino Compatible programming, so Microcontrollers burned with the Arduino Bootloader can be programmed with this board.

 There are two jumpers on the board, and they're pretty much self explanatory.  One jumper selects the logic level - 5V or 3.3V, so make sure this jumper is set for the same voltage that the project is running at.  The other jumper is for power - meaning that the board can disconnect the VCC pin from the project.  Or, the board can supply power to the project. The Silkscreen on the board clearly shows which jumper is which and what the positions are.  WARNING: make sure these jumpers are set before connecting the board to the project - accidentally applying 5V to a 3.3V project can cause damage, so make sure the jumpers are correct!!
