Features
- USB-C connector with ESD protection chip

- All pins of FT230X available on the headers
- Jumpers on the bottom of the board to select between different voltages and self vs bus powered mode
- LEDs for VCC and VIO
- LEDs for TX and RX activity (must program the FT230X CBUS pins for these LEDs to work)
- 4 layer board (can be redesigned for 2 layers, but due to the small size the price difference is negligible)
