Hi all, I'm trying to get a product working that uses the FTDI FT232BM chipset to get USR/Serial translation. The device works fine with Windows drivers but not with the Mac drivers. Does anyone out there have any experience with the FTDI products and especially with Macintosh integrations that they would like to share? Thanks for listening, DLC -- ===============================...

Hi All, I need to provide the USB connectivity for USB not capable microcontroller. The FTDI chips are the simplest and cheap solution. However the VCP drivers do not provide sufficient throughput. The D2XX do not, but they are not open source, so are usable only for a few platforms, for which FTDI has provided binaries of their library. Is there any Open Source equivalent of the D2XX driv...

I found a similar problem in an earlier thread, but not really a solution... I am trying to install the FTDI FT232BM VCP driver on a Windows 98 system. The system won't "pick up" the driver. It recognizes the USB device (unknown) when I plug it in. It then insists on automatically attaching its own USB driver. I can tell it to "update driver" and point it to the directory where th...

Hi, I've read several posts from different people in here stating they have used the FTDI parts successfully. I am considering the FT232R and my application needs very low latency (yes, USB and low-latency is an oxymoron). My data throughput is 3-4 bytes/message with minimum 400 us between each message, upto 40 s between a message. Data is semi-random, not always continuous. With...

I am having problems reading a FTDI 245 USB parallel chip into a PC. In the PC, I am using GetQueueStatus(), which returns the number of bytes in the rx queue, follwed by a read() which reads the bytes into a buffer. All within a self contained thread. I am using Microsoft C V7. The throughput rate is about 500Kbps, about half the maximum realisable. The problem is that every few seconds...

Hello, does someone know if there is a debug dll for FTDI D2XX ? I want to trace every call and every data packet which is exchanged over the DLL. There was something for CAPI (ISDN) long time ago, which i think should also work for D2XX. The original DLL was renamed and a new DLL was created which was just a wrapper and calls the original functions of the renamed DLL. Is such a thing...
