Any sample FTDI FT232RL or FT232BM code?

I haven't chosen a PIC to use for this yet, any recommendations?

Any PIC you have available...


serial_input_pin var whateverpinyouwanttouse
input_data var byte
led var whateverpinyouwanttouse

Main:
serin serial_input_pin,t2400,input_data
if input_data="1" then led = 1
if input_data="0" then led = 0
goto main

Hi,

Thanks again.

So, it would be exactly as if it were just plain serial input?

I thought maybe there were some other things needed to do in dealing with the bridge chip. (Is there any "handshaking" or clock data that needs to be sent/received between the Pic and the FT232XX?)

(Sorry in advance if I'm causing any confusion, etc. I'm just now starting to learn about rs232 and FTDI)

Thanks again,

Tony

The basic operation is just as simple as that. CTS/RTS are optional, programmable. The biggest pain (if you can call it that, 'cause it's all handled by Windows) is getting the thing recognized by Windows. If you don't mess with the drivers and install them correctly, no problem.

Hi,

I see... Thanks for clearing this up for me.
