I don't plan on etching a board, I'm using wire wrap on a pref board. Still researching what and how to do it. I have a plan on how to mount the IC using headers, making it look like a DIP IC. We'll see if it works!

I think I need to reinstall from source? / /Ethan Swint wrote: > > > William Estrada wrote: >> Hi group, >> >> Does anyone have a sym file for the FT232RL? >> >> > FWIW - I'm using the FT232RL in a converter that switches 7A at 350VDC > without problems.
