I have a sensor (HC2A-S3A), which provides analog and digital output signals. The digital interface is UART (19200 baud, protocol RoASCII). Can I use a USB to Serial TTL Converter (chipset: FTDI FT232RL) to connect the sensor to a computer?
My idea would be (but I don't know much about electronics) to connect V+ to VCC, GND, RXD, and TXD, respectively. Also, I guess RTS and CTS on the converter side have to be short-circuited. Would this work?
