Analog of USB Elinv Prog programmer device (connection via USB port), performed on FT232RL chip.

This device successfully replaces the USB Elinv Prog, although the design is simpler and much less expensive. 

If the drivers are installed correctly (see USB Elinv Prog section), the device will be determined by the Sky Prog Programmer software as the USB Elinv Prog device.

You can buy, for example, on aliexpress.com. The price is very low, 3-4 $.

The figure below shows which device points are needed for the connection to the PCB.

Power can be used 5 volts or 3.3 volts.
