Thread: sync pulse using usb to ttl

Hi all,

I have a USB to TTL converter (FT232RL) and i need to make it send sync pulse to other system (short 5v pulse).

i am not sure i understand it right so i'll explain my plan:

first i need to open handler and send non zero data using Writefile(for windows).

assuming that my last sentence was right which 2 terminals should i connect in order to get 5v (i believe its GND and another one).

the terminals are:
3v3
txd
rxd
gnd
+5v (which i belive its the supply voltage that always will be on 5V no matter what send to it).

i hope i understand things right.

thanks in advance :-)
