Will 5v FTDI Fry my board(s)?

Posted by Robert Baumgartner on November 10, 2012 at 2:43pm

I have a 5v FTDI cable from SparkFun (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9718) but noticed the one on the DiyDrones store is 3.3v. Before plugging it in to anything I thought it would be wise to ask:

Can I use the 5v cable on the MediaTek GPS/MinimOSD boards or do I need a 3.3v cable?
