Purpose of USB (FTDI) and ICSP connectors

The ICSP is used for 'bare metal' programming. This what you'd use if you wanted to replace or remove the bootloader, change the clock oscillator settings, or program the device as a bare 328. The ...

Arduino(s) not resetting on Serial connection lost / re-established - why?

What you have done is to disable the "HUPCL" signal that is sent when the port is opened/closed. You can turn the signal back on with: $ stty -F /dev/ttyACM3 hupcl And you can turn it off again ...

what ftdi windows driver for arduino nano

The Official Arduino Nano has an FTDI FT232RL. You want to use the Virtual Com Port(VCP) Driver so the FTDI device appears as a COM port under windows. See the getting started guide for details.

Programming ATmega2560 processor with FTDI instead of ATmega32

In fact, the basic Arduino Mega (with the ATmega 1280) utilizes an FT232RL, so yes, it will work if you connect it correctly. It is only the newer Mega2560 (along with the similar-generation Uno, etc)...

Simulate a FTDI using an Arduino UNO

The simplest way is to unplug the ATMega328P from the board (or otherwise disable it) and just use the ATMega16U2 by connecting the ESP8266 to pins 0 and 1 of the Uno. No programming required at all ...

Can Arduino be used as an FDTI Programmer?

Yes. Tie the reset pin on the ISP connector low to keep the ATmega328P in reset, then you can connect pins 0 and 1 to the ESP module to communicate using the Uno's USB-UART bridge. Since the pins are ...

Connect a USB slave into Arduino using FTDI

No, that is completely wrong. In USB you have hosts and devices. A device has to connect to a host. Your FT232 is a device. The barcode scanner is a device. Both of them need to be connected to a ...

How do I reset an ESP8266 with an FTDI and no reset button?

Pull the reset pin up by connecting it to 3.3v with a 10k ohm resistor, then to reset the ESP you temporarily ground the pin, bringing it down to 0v/GND. I'd recommend putting in a button for that :)

Arduino Pro Mini Serial Monitor garbage

Flip the RX and TX wires of the HC06. This is because this statement : SoftwareSerial BT(10, 11); actually means SoftwareSerial BT(RXpin, TXpin);. Considering this, 10 is your Rx and 11 is your Tx. In ...
