Ftdi Usb To Serial Driver Chip

Posted on by admin

DTECH DT-5010 USB 2.0 to RS232 Convertor FTDI chip. Feature: Converts USB 2.0 port to RS232 9 Pin Serial port. Standard USB 2.0 type A Male and RS232 serial 9 pin Male interface. USB specification 2.0 compliant Supports over 1Mbps data transfer rate. Supports remote wake-up and power management Available for USB port. Win7/10 USB serial driver for FTDI chips. Hardware: Any FTDI FT230X series USB-serial device (custom FT230X board, UMFT230XB-NC module, UMFT230XA module etc.). Software: Visual Basic - Serial Port. Issue2: Whenever the FT230X RTS line is toggled using RTSenable, the TX line (if low using BreakState) toggles high.

When you troubleshoot issues with a serial device, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:

  • Serial cables

  • Serial ports

  • Serial devices

Sep 12, 2017  We bought the FTDI adapter as suggested, updated the driver for the prolific as suggested, tried to switch to Microsoft USB to Serial, only to blue screen the machine. We put a serial port sniffer on the machine and can see the data getting transmitted to the device, an Epson TM-U375 serial printer that we use all over the place. The USBRS232 cables are a family of USB to RS232 levels serial UART converter cables incorporating FTDI’s FT232RQ USB to serial UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cables provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with a RS232 level serial UART interface to USB.

To test your setup components, try the following:

  • Use the serial cable, serial port, and serial device in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.

  • Use a different serial cable, serial port, and serial device in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.

When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:

  • Test each cable individually.

  • Use short cables when you are testing.

When you test the serial ports and serial device, it is recommended that you do the following:

  • Press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager. Check to see if your device is listed under Ports (COM & LPT).

  • Make sure that the COM port number is the correct number for the serial device and that the software being used to connect the computer to the serial device uses the correct COM port number.

  • If you do not see the COM port number in Device Manager see this FAQ for PCI/PCIe expansion cards: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=expansion-cards#pci-pcie-cannot-boot-os-or-detect-windows
    or this FAQ for USB devices: https://www.startech.com/support/faqs/technical-support?topic=expansion-cards#usb-cannot-detect-windows

  • If the device is listed with an error, follow the instructions on the website to reinstall the drivers.

Note: Some serial devices work only if the COM port number is between a certain range. For example, COM1 to COM4.

  • Perform a serial loopback test. See this FAQ on how to perform a RS-232 serial loopback test: http://www.startech.com/faq/serial_loopback_test_rs232_windows

Hardware: Any FTDI FT230X series USB-serial device (custom FT230X board, UMFT230XB-NC module, UMFT230XA module etc.).
Software: Visual Basic - Serial Port.
OpSys: Win7 (64-bit) and Win10

[PC] ----- USB cable -------- [FTDI FT230X USB-UART device][TX, RX, RTS signals]

Issue1: Whenever an FT230X device is connected or powered up and Windows scans for USB devices, the RTS line is toggled
Issue2: Whenever the FT230X RTS line is toggled using RTSenable, the TX line (if low using BreakState) toggles high.

Code Example:

SerialPort1.BreakState = True ' Rx low (sets Rx line low)
SerialPort1.RtsEnable = True ' RTS low (sets RTS line low AND Rx high)
SerialPort1.RtsEnable = False ' RTS high (setsRTS line high)
SerialPort1.BreakState = False ' Rx high (this has no effect since Rx is already high)

Toggling RTS should have no effect on the TX line. The issue only occurs with the FT230X chip. The same VB code running a PICkit Serial module works properly i.e. toggling RTS has no effect on TX.

This workshop will show you how you can install a third-party open source firmware on your WDTV Live HD media player and tap hidden features that the original firmware doesn’t provide. Sep 03, 2019  Has anyone installed a hack firmware onto a wdtv live hub? Ive found a page online to install a version to allow third party app downloads including torrent downloads, should i stay away or has anyone been successful? Hub

Has anyone else seen this issue before, can duplicate it or shed some light on the issue?
