Interestingly, the following libftdi binaries got the most download. libftdi1-1.4git_devkit_x86_x64_14June2018.zip --2517 libftdi1-1.1_devkit_x86_x64_21Feb2014.zip -- 2723 libftdi1-1.0_devkit_mingw32_17Feb2013.zip -- 5115 The 1.0 binary is the most popular, probably because of the following two website. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ft232h-breakout/windows-setup http://embedded-funk.net/running-libftdi-under-windows/ On the other hand, Adafruit has moved to use pyftdi based blinka, no longer based on libftdi python bindings. https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Blinka pyftdi does not depend on libftdi, rather it depends on pyusb. FYI, pyusb has a new developer and I am also one of the admins helping out on the support side. https://github.com/pyusb/pyusb pyftdi: based on pyusb and pyserial https://github.com/eblot/pyftdi pylibftdi: based on libftdi https://github.com/codedstructure/pylibftdi -- Xiaofan -- libftdi - see http://www.intra2net.com/en/developer/libftdi for details.
