FTDI will work, and you just need to make sure pin 3 is transmit, pin 5 is ground. We do not receive data.

I have the USB chip to wire type, so my TX wire goes to autopilot(In Data) and the GND to GND and still no luck..

 

Thx

Well the good news is that I made it once I receive my USB—DB9 cable and it works

They are talking or listening, just like an old couple..

 

I was using a USB to wires not a DB9, so I suspect what was missing was to be connected 

To the envelope ground of the DB9 as opposed to the circuit gnd on the tiny PCB board…..
