As others have discussed at length above, the supply chains on this stuff are anything but transparent, and even careful people who aren’t going for too good to be true deals can be burnt. Well, then that is wrong and selfish and anti-social because they are harming other consumers with counterfeits. But don’t put a Rayban logo on it to deceive people that it is something it is not. When you do that, now no one knows if they are buying the real thing or a counterfeit.
- But flashing firmware in a so called fake chip, makes that opcom garbage.
- Make sure you carefully read the driver installation instructions above.
- The name of this archive will depend on the version available, but should begin “FTD3XXDriver_WHYQLCertified”.
I’ve installed Win500 on two XP and one Win 7 machine and it worked on all three without any fiddling with the com port. Select to uninstall the USB cable driver. After uninstalling the driver remove the USB cable. I am not sure why your serial port isn’t working.
Plug the programmer into the emonTx with the component side of the board facing up and the GND connection aligned with the engraving on the panel; that is, nearest to the aerial socket on the emonTx. The FTDI Data Sheet for the LC231X Module has links to comprehensive information about the module and drivers. If your computer’s operating system is Linux, no drivers are needed. I stress counterfeit, because you mentioned ‘stolen’ – which tends to be covered by different laws. This may vary state-by-state, and very likely will vary country-by-country.
Drivers Drivers
No more of this shotgun approach to rooting out fakes. I wonder, what would happen, if FTDI make a mistake in future driver update and recognize genuine chips as fakes? If I were a manufacturer of such devices, I’d rather make my devices less expensive than risk pissing off end users and manufacturers that use my devices in their products. The real problem, which caused this whole fiasco in the first place, is the USB Implementer’s Forum’s monopoly on assignment of VIDs. The USB-IF was organized by a group of large hardware manufacturers hoping to squeeze out smaller manufacturers. That assumes that the person who bought the part is the end user.
This is a https://driversol.com/drivers/ftdi/ simple tool to capture the data from FTDI devices to a binary file. I have personally tested the above CH340 driver on windows 7 and it worked with the Arduino Nano, Node MCU and Arduino UNO clones. Is used in low cost SMD Arduino UNO &Arduino Nano boards.
Recently he is also putting his hands in NI-TestStand to get very dirty on it. He is also a good mentor for the various interns in his career. He is ready to help the people in techie roles.

For example, how do you tell a device to stop sending data without it simply passing your “please stop!” command right on down to whatever you’re serially communicating with? That’s an open question, and is defined by the device driver. These chips give lightweight USB support for hardware that doesn’t want or have it.

ENTTEC CVC3 is the waterproof LED strip driver that allows you to use our revolutionary Pixelator or other system for controlling non-pixel LED strip. Installation guides are available from the Installation Guides page of the Documents. Sometimes a scanner will register as not available until this procedure is fydi. This version of FTDI’s USB to TTL serial adapter cable has it’s I/O pins configured to operate at 5V levels.
