How reliable are the CP2021s? I’ve been unimpressed with at one or two of the generic USB/TTL adapters I’ve gotten my hands on. Tend to stick with FTDI which are a bit more. In this case it may not matter, since you can apparently get Leonardo compatible boards which have integrated USB hookups and use the ATMega to emulate USB serial for just a few cents more than your combination of TTL adapter and Arduino.
