• They seemed to be broken somehow so I researched and found this link: ftdi-drivers-break-fake-chips-again This is the problem I face. My FTDI breakouts are now completely worthless because of a windows update. Any idea how to make them work? I am using Windows 10, so disabling the windows updates is not a 'valid' option.
  • The Windows 10 CDM driver is also available as a setup.exe from the FTDI Web Site, as shown in Figure 3.2. The executable copies the default FTDI driver to the PC’s driver store prior to the FTDI device being plugged into the PC.

Nov 25, 2017  The package provides the installation files for FTDI USB Serial Converter Driver version 2.12.28. If the driver is already installed on your system, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix various issues, add new functions, or just upgrade to the available version. Win7/10 USB serial driver for FTDI chips. Hardware: Any FTDI FT230X series USB-serial device (custom FT230X board, UMFT230XB-NC module, UMFT230XA module etc.). Software: Visual Basic - Serial Port. Issue2: Whenever the FT230X RTS line is toggled using RTSenable, the TX line (if low using BreakState) toggles high. For most of these operating systems two types of driver are available: Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers and direct (D2XX) drivers. The VCP driver emulates a standard PC serial port such that the USB device may be communicated with as a standard RS232 device. The D2XX driver allows direct access to a USB device via a DLL interface. .Includes the following version of of the Windows operating system: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 8, 8.1, Windows server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10. Download visio for office 365. Also, as Windows 8 RT is a closed system not allowing for 3rd party driver installation our Windows 8 driver will not support this variant of the OS.

Hardware: Any FTDI FT230X series USB-serial device (custom FT230X board, UMFT230XB-NC module, UMFT230XA module etc.).

[PC] ----- USB cable -------- [FTDI FT230X USB-UART device][TX, RX, RTS signals]

Issue1: Whenever an FT230X device is connected or powered up and Windows scans for USB devices, the RTS line is toggled
Issue2: Whenever the FT230X RTS line is toggled using RTSenable, the TX line (if low using BreakState) toggles high.

Code Example:

SerialPort1.BreakState = True ' Rx low (sets Rx line low)
SerialPort1.RtsEnable = True ' RTS low (sets RTS line low AND Rx high)
SerialPort1.RtsEnable = False ' RTS high (setsRTS line high)
SerialPort1.BreakState = False ' Rx high (this has no effect since Rx is already high)

Toggling RTS should have no effect on the TX line. The issue only occurs with the FT230X chip. The same VB code running a PICkit Serial module works properly i.e. toggling RTS has no effect on TX.

Has anyone else seen this issue before, can duplicate it or shed some light on the issue?
