Help with a prolific cable!!!
I couldn't get a ftdi cable in my local market, unfortunately the online prices were way too expensive due to the shipping+customs it was triple the price of the actual wire/connector board. Either ways, this is what I could manage to get from my place.
It's a counterfeit PL2303 XA/HXA (HX rev A) cable. Yes, it's not even the original one because it's also a discontinued piece. With some googling I managed to get the cable working fine at least.
My only issue is that the cable documentation states the power supply output to be 3.3v to 5v. There's no 1.8v through it. What should I do about that? The seller told me to buy another module which lowers the voltage. But I don't know how to make the connections on it.
Could someone help me with that?
(Also, it's weird but I think I posted this message last night too, it didn't show it anywhere.)
