[@malgailany]

One of the best explained coding videos I've seen. Thank you so much for showing all the details.

You are a god. Thanks for this amazing content!

[@goofypettiger]

Well done! This helped me a lot.

Truly a great tutorial! One thing that would be useful is a schematic of the hookup to the FT Module. I am having a bit of trouble translating the ACBUS0-ACBUS6 pin names into ins and outs as shown on the Lattice source code doc. Some are obvious such as read\ = ACBUS2, etc, but signals you documented as TX_full, RX _empty and send_immediately_n are not obvious as to how they map to ACBUS pins. And, I would assume that the ACBUS pin functions do not require any special configuration outside of whats shown in your C++ coding? Thank you!

thank you for your detailed tutorial. just one question on the VM you used and how to enable the USB devices to discoverable in the VM. I am trying to follow thru your tutorial and seems this one is not shown in detail.

[@upgrdman]

If you plug in a USB device while the VM has focus, VMware will ask want you want to do (or may automatically connect it to the VM depending on your settings.)

Very good!

Excellent

[@richardbenfield]

I can't seem to compile this, is it likely because I'm using VS2017?

[@upgrdman]

What error are you getting?

[@richardbenfield]

@@upgrdman I don't really use c++ but it looks like i was using the newest "CDM+v2.12.36.1+WHQL+Certified" h file "CDM v2.12.28 WHQL Certified" seems to work.

[@richardbenfield]

@@upgrdman btw nice video.

Can you show how to create a Display which shows RPM ,SPEED, FUEL GAUGE, Trip meter.

thanks for the great tutorial, had following issue that i lost around every 510 byte. made your example for the icoboard with ft323h baseboard see github.com/xeniter/icoboard_yosys_demos/tree/main/baseboard_ft245_counter_demo_losing_bytes found solution to avoid loosing each 510 byte : "With great FTDI support I have solved problem TXE signal can go HIGH on falling edge of clock and so it must not be checked only on rising edge." at community.intel.com/t5/Programmable-Devices/FT2232H-245-Synchronous-FIFO-Mode-problem/td-p/111192 fixed version for icoboard is here: github.com/xeniter/icoboard_yosys_demos/tree/main/baseboard_ft245_counter_demo_fixed
