Genuine FTDI silicon. Three-voltage hardware switch. Full ESD protection. USB-C. No driver circus. Board from £18, aluminium enclosure from £42.
Most UART adapters arrive in a ziplock bag with a CH340 on board. The driver fights you on macOS. There's no ESD protection on the data lines. The pinout is on the wrong side of the silkscreen.
So we made the one we wanted: genuine FTDI silicon, ESD protection on every line, USB-C, and a hardware switch for 5V, 3.3V, and 1.8V.
Just the DG-UART. We're not building a catalogue.
Every unit gets powered up and checked before it goes out.
Designed and supported in the UK.

Schematic first. Hand-routed layout. DFM pass. Every line gets ESD-tested at every logic level. Each unit is powered up and checked before it gets a serial number.
If something feels off — a solder joint, the switch action, anything — it doesn't go out.
