Michael, yes, i'm trusting the firmware on the chip connected to the FT245R to report accurately whether or not it's receiving data
and yes , it has worked before. Before i was using the D2XXX library to talk to the device , As far as i know, I am doing anything to enable RD# , do i need to do this? i don't have direct access to the chip, as it is embedded in device. Also, i tried writing twice as per Alex's suggestion , and this didn't help -Howard btw, the reason i'm trying to use the libftdi library rather than libftd2xx.so is so i can try to compile the code for a Gumstix processor . thanks... > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: writing to FT245R > Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2009 18:23:30 -0600 > > Howard Coven wrote: > > >> I don't get any errors, but the ftdi_write_data function does not seem to > >> be having any results writing to the device. > >> I do seem to be able to connect & read from the device, > >> so i'm not sure what is wrong. > > Could you elaborate on how you know it's not having any results?
