Thank you! if you could guide me with the connections between the logic level shifter and the tinyg will appreciate a lot!

When I press the reset button the PWM light Goes on and 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

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!
