Introduction

This page is for example applications using the FTDI chips for connecting USB devices to PCs.

For more information on their chips, datasheets, drivers and other examples please see the FTDI website.

Devices

FT2232

• Visual Basic V6 SPI and FIFO example

• MPSSE-SPIV104.zip (46908 bytes), zip file of source and executable for example application to read and write bytes to Port B of FT2232D as a FIFO and SPI transfer using the MPSSE functions on Port A.

  To drive Port B as a FIFO, requires serial EEPROM on device and being programmed with MPROG application from FTDI, see example circuit as Eagle Schematic or PDF.

  Includes logging of actions, reading EEPROM, scanning for first FT2232C (or above) device.

  Also has traps for no device connected or no driver loaded. See example log files.

  V1.04 fix minor bug for read only bits command sending.

• readme.txt (1952 bytes), readme file included in the above zip file.

Other Examples

Other examples to be made availble as and when time permits.

PC Services will consider hosting other examples if others have difficulty hosting them, however README files and similar to be included in any archive to contain at least the same information as example(s) above.

CAD Libraries

Eagle Library (by CadSoft) library for most FTDI USB chips available here.
