Adafruit USB to TTL Cable 5V output pin

Post by testeng1 »

This cable has a 5V @ 500mA output pin. I'd like to use pin as a 3.3V instead of 5V. I was going to convert it using a 5V to 3.3V voltage regulator. Is there a more efficient way and are there any concerns with doing this? Thanks.

No problem at all. Something like https://www.adafruit.com/product/4711 or https://www.adafruit.com/product/4683 will do the job.
