Remember when you were a kid on Christmas morning and as soon as you woke up you realized there were presents under the tree? That's how I feel in the morning (this morning in particular) when my phone is flashing with notifications letting me know you have uploaded once again. Thanks for yet another great video.
This may be useful when trying to control things with phones which can act as a usb host. I know serial monitor exists which can talk to arduinos, but using the bare chip it could be shrunk and make simpler. All what would make this complete is an app that can utilise the onboard sensors on the phone and can talk to the fdta chip.
So glad I found this. Arduinos won't exist in a few years when you can just install a full blown OS on something of similar size. Cut out the middle man!
I hope you know that nothing with OS will not replace microcontrollers, even now there is more 4-bit (4004 and its clones) microcontrollers in use then all things with OS. OS need boot time and no one will put it in toothbrush but they all put 4-bit microcontroller in it.
I am trying to count how many polystyrene cups you have on your desk .. and a glass of beer .. haha, 20 cup of coffee to wire the brain then a single glass of the beer to calm it back down, I should try that :) Anyway, I like technical level of your vids - nice work!
I had no clue of what was happening. I dont need music I need an explanation of what you were doing. It looked like it would have helped me but I don't have a clue of what to do. Where did you software come from??
Hi Kevin, Interesting video, with a promising idea. Is it possible to determine the Tx, Rx loop time; in other words if I want to control a device with specific time constraints, will I be able to determine the overall loop time? I hope you produce more videos that explains both H/W and S/W together. Thank you.
hmmm, I wonder? I think it would depend on how tight of a time constraint you have. Each command to the device takes a while, check out the hackaday link in the description for a better explanation of how this all works
@@Kevindarrah Dear Kevin, I'am unable to write to the FT EEPROM via FT Prog. Have you encountered this issue? To test this I decided to erase the FT232R. I then get the error It is not possible to erase an FT232R device. Does this sound familiar? Cheers
Yeah, I'm actually planning on building a breakout for the FT4232H (which has 32 GPIO) for this very purpose, you could make something very cool with that :D I might send you a free one if you like
At 4:00 I see you click "Load D2XXX drivers". But on FT232H and FT4232H FTPROG "Hardware Specific" I don't have those options--they are literally not shown in FTPROG. . Do you know if further driver mods are needed for W10 system? Or can I assume since that option is not there it will work? Note that COM ports are visible in my system, so the FTDI driver is loading, but it seems it's the COM port stack, not the D2XXx stack.
Hey, your code is great, but I have some issues and I hope that you could guide me. Once I do ping test I get like 4 fails , 4 positive ,4 fails etc , or all of them fails, why do you think it's happening ? Is it the noise ? I have 1 transreciver on a arduino UNO, and 1 atmega328P-PU on a breadboard. Could it be anything else than noise ?

haha! thanks John!
Agreed, another great video, certainly opens a lot of possibilities.
Great video. I had no idea that these USB/FTDI boards could be programmed. I've learned something, many thanks.

Very useful video,keep up the good work

Sir, that's an interesting idea though I don't think that's much different from using an arduino with firmata.
I had no clue of what was happening. I dont need music I need an explanation of what you were doing. It looked like it would have helped me but I don't have a clue of what to do. Where did you software come from??
this is can old video - but links are all in vid description

So your 'C" code (and driver) run on the computer, no code uploads to the chip, right?
yep, but you do have to configure the chip with the FT prog utility just once

What are other ways to do that? Using arduinos? How can I do that with phones, android for example?
Just got this running :D So cool!
yay! you actually tried it out and it works? That's awesome
Yeah, I'm actually planning on building a breakout for the FT4232H (which has 32 GPIO) for this very purpose, you could make something very cool with that :D I might send you a free one if you like
cool! let me know how it works out
Will do :)
Hi
We have checked your code and run it but no luck pleas tell me a suggestion for this
At 4:00 I see you click "Load D2XXX drivers". But on FT232H and FT4232H FTPROG "Hardware Specific" I don't have those options--they are literally not shown in FTPROG. . Do you know if further driver mods are needed for W10 system? Or can I assume since that option is not there it will work? Note that COM ports are visible in my system, so the FTDI driver is loading, but it seems it's the COM port stack, not the D2XXx stack.
answering my own question, FTPROG moved it? hardware specific > port A > driver

that is awsome
Can I run I2C pins by writing the code in similar way ?
I only can replicate my predecessors: Great vid, thanks a lot for sharing !
hey, i want this with more gpio pins, lets say 32. i cant find anything
I would design a board with a microcontroller to handle the IOUSB
#Arduino - Do everything and more :)
