Hi,
I have a Teensy 3.6. I'm using the USB port to communicate with a smart phone. I want to view data from the Teensy 3.6 through the built-in serial interface.
I have a HiLetgo FT232RL FTDI USB to TTL Serial Converter adapter module for an Arduino ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJXZQ7C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ).
I don't want to fry my Teensy dev board. I'm wondering if all I have to do is hook a wire from the RX pin on the USB to TTL serial converter to the TX pin on the Teensy (pin 1), hook the TX pin on the USB to TTL serial converter to the RX pin on the Teensy (pin 0), hook the ground from the USB to TTL serial converter to the pin labeled GND (right above pin 0) on the Teensy, and then make sure the USB to TTL serial converter is set to 3.3V.
Is that all that's needed? Then I could just follow the example here: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_uart.html
Do I need to hook the 3.3V on the Teensy 3.6 board to the VCC pin on my TTL to serial adapter?
I should then be able to hook my USB to TTL serial converter mini USB port to my Linux box and then just view the data using my favourite terminal program, right?
Thank you.
