    I decided to just buy another TinyG board.
    I like it too much and always worked great .

    Hello! thank you for the reply

    I connected all like this:
    RX pin from the Usb Adapter to the RX pin of tinyG
    TX pin from the Usb Adapter to the TX pin of tinyG
    GND pin from the Usb Adapter to the GND pin of tinyG

    When I press the reset button the PWM light stays on (No flashing)

    Status Update:
    I soldered the 4 pin header on the board and connected the Usb adapter to it.
    I used GND, RX, TX.
    The connection to the computer went well and I launched Json which recognized the USB port.
    I connected it successfully with chilipeppr but when i write $$ in the command line or when I click on the arrows to move the axis i don’t receive any answer.
    It makes me think based on the tinyg installation tutorial that i need to connect the CTS port for have the complete communication between the software and the tinyg.
    The problem is on the tinyg board I cant find where is the CTS pin hole , even looking on the schematic. I have a strange feeling that it’s right where the FTDI chip is on, and if so I am at the end of this Journey unless there is out there another way to use TinyG without CTS

    Thank you for all!

    Now i feel more confident with this project.

    I noticed that I misspelled the word Soldering in my post. The crazy auto-correct

    Hi thank you for your help and the link for the schematic. I bought this interface on amazon based on the good reviews.
    From the description it says:” TTL levels of +5V and +3.3V adjustable design, and draws power directly from your PC/laptop via the USB connection, no need for an external power adapter.”
    So I am guessing I can set the adapter to 3.3V.
    I have another question: The adapter has 6 Pins and the TinyG J14 has 4 holes. I can just ignore the extra 2 pins on the UsB interface?
    What do you suggest for an easy way to attach them? Soldiering?
    Thanks again!
