I have installed the VCP driver for Windows 7 from here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htmNow I
want to communucate with the device so here is the code :
FT_STATUS ftStatus;
FT_HANDLE ftHandle;
char Buf[64];
// the device found is **FT232R USB UART**
ftStatus = FT_ListDevices(0, Buf, FT_LIST_BY_INDEX | FT_OPEN_BY_DESCRIPTION);
ftHandle = FT_W32_CreateFile(Buf, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, 0,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FT_OPEN_BY_DESCRIPTION,
0);
if (ftHandle == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {
//error
}
const char* cmd = "command"
bool res = FT_W32_WriteFile(ftHandle, (LPVOID)cmd, strlen(cmd), &bytes_written, NULL);
if (bytes_written != strlen(cmd)) {
//error
}
FT_W32_CloseHandle(ftHandle);
I can found the device and there is no error in CreateFile or WriteFile but when I send the command the device doesn't react(nothing happens). I created a Win32 Console application in Visual
Studio Community 2015 in C++, so that is why I use FT_W32... Should I also open the serial port using CreateFile ?What am I missing or doing wrong ?
Thanks
