connect your serial terminal using 9600 baud and reset the module. Normally the dots indicate success.

Possible issues
a) Not enoigh power - USB only is not sufficient. Add an external power
b) Windows 8/10 compatibility issue with some FTDI chips - google it and buy a new one
c) RX/TX pin interverted (just swap them)
