[NTLK] Trouble with the ftdi chipset cable

[Rufus Kohn]

Hi Elias,

From you explanation I take TTL is not the same as that the wires just need to be switched around. Is TTL the way the chipset is wired to the USB? Is TTL verses D2XX ddl? As discribed here https://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/DataSheets/Cables/DS_TTL-232R_CABLES.pdf ?
I was wondering if I could find a different use for the TTL cable
