Hello.
I'd need to purchase an USB to Serial cable to be used with an Arduino Mega. I need to send serial data from my Mac to an Arduino Mega.
Which one of the following cables is best for my case:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/4364
https://www.adafruit.com/product/70
Eager to have your advice on this.
Thank you.
Fab.

They sound comparible. The only real difference I see is that https://www.adafruit.com/product/70 is USB-A and 3' long, while https://www.adafruit.com/product/4364 is USB-C and 1m long.

That's great, thank you very much. I wasn't really sure that the TTL voltage was compatible with the Mega. I think I'll get the longer one.
Thanks again very much!

Yes, they both state that they work with 3.3v or 5v logic.
