Adding USB with a miniUSB (or other USB breakout board)
Connecting a FTDI breakout board is easy, wire up 5V and ground so that they are shared with the boarduino, then connect tx and rx. If you are planning to use the 'auto-reset' capability, you will need to place a capacitor (.1uF is just fine) between the DTR line and the reset pin. For the FTDI cable connector, this capacitor is on the board but since there may be situations where the reset line for the microcontroller needs to be connected straight to TTL logic, there is no capacitor on the reset pin.
