Re: can I bypass the CP2102 chip on the NANO with an FTDI based serial adapter? #nano #arduino #cp2102 #ftdi

One more comment. I was assuming your cable is intended for 5 volt digital logic connections, not actual RS-232. If it is RS-232 then the voltages may be an issue. But, you may be able to use limiting resistors and diodes to protect the Nano, you will need to experiment.
