Hello,

I'm new using Labview and FTDI chips. It's being hard for me to figure
out how to start. For example, I have no idea how to program the chip
with Labview. Which driver to use: VCom or D2xxx? Should I use normal
serial port commands if i use the Vcom driver? Can I use both drivers
simultaneously?

I use Labview 7.0 and I have made a PCB as stated in the sample
project:"USB to SPI interface". So i use chip FT2232C in MPSEE mde.

Does anyone has an example vi that could provide me? It would be a
great help for a starting point.

Regards,

Pedro

Ps:Even if is for another chip it would be good :)!

Hi Pedro , I have used a similar chip the FT232 , I used the virtual
com driver from the FTDI site. This gave me a USB on COM3 ( viewable
in MAX ) . I then used the VISA vi's specifying COM3 as the port, you
will also need to know the baud rate .
A useful site if you dont want to do DIY is
www.i2cchip.com.  There i2c to PC adaptor also does SPI

Hope this helps

Hi,

We would like to recommend the Aardvark I2C/SPI
host adapter for communicating between your host PC
and target development board via the SPI bus.  It
can function as either a master or a slave on the
SPI bus.

The host adapter is very competitively priced and
includes a freely downloadable, full-featured
LabVIEW driver.  Also, the adapter interfaces with
your PC's USB port for convenient connectivity and
maximum data throughput.

The Aardvark host adapter is one of the quickest
options to get up and running with LabVIEW and the
SPI bus.
