== Background ==
At some point I needed an isolated FTDI. Since I could not find one to buy, I designed one.
After talking to some people in the hackerspace with different ideas about the project I designed it so that lots of options are possible with the design.
I started with the design from sparkfun: [https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9716 FTDI Basic Breakout] which I really liked, thanks for making the design open source, it saved me time.
== Features ==
The features of this FTDI are:
* galvanic isolation via ADuM 1402 or ADuM 5402 (that’s what all the fuzz is about :) )
* LEDs for voltage selection feedback (same colours as the cables in your ATX power supply ;) )
* Current Limiting Power Switch 50mA to protect the ADuM5402 (MIC2090-1YM5 or similar)
== PCBs ==
First PCBs are ordered and we will solder them in a few weeks.
