Rainbowduino with USB FTDI cable?

Hi,

I’m trying to use a new USB FTDI TTL-232R-5V cable I just got to program my Rainbowduino. When I look at the datasheet of the cable, I see it has:

GND
CTS
VCC
TXD
RXD
RTS

Do I need to use all 6 of those with the rainbowduino? I didn’t know where CTS (Clear) was to go if at all. Just gnd, vcc, txd, rxd and rts?

Here’s the datasheet for the cable ftdichip.com/Documents/DataS … S_V201.pdf

Thanks for any help

I never used a CTS pin

Just RX, TX, Reset and +5V GND for Power.

Should work fine.
