FTDI SPI Tutorial: LibMPSSE with Visual Studio 2015

[@armchair.9664]

Just started a new job where I needed to do this for an FTDI USB to SPI board, and this video was a life-saver. I cannot thank you enough!

[@funbotix3030]

Wow... super job of showing just enough to make it all work in a very easy to understand way. Thanks!!

[@mvisperas]

Thanks for this walkthrough. I'm about to do an FTDI FT4232H Mini Module I2C project.

[@Timur_Kan]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Cheers from Russia!

[@liornak]

Works on FT2232H Mini Module. Thanks!

[@mvisperas]

Thanks for confirming. I'm about to do the same with an I2C.

Fantastic video and great presentation. It worked from the first run. Thanks a lot.

[@71GA]

Very pleasant video!

[@rfdave3980]

Wow nice work. Your video was very good. I learnt so much. Thank you (Subscribed).

[@BAMFWrangler]

Awesome video. Great content and presentation skills.

[@upgrdman]

+BAMFWrangler Thank you!

[@isaattechnologies4790]

Good video! Lots of useful information.

[@faizibrahimp]

Thanks for the video. Helped a lot.

[@MJ12GRAVITON]

Fantastic, great channel, thankyou.

[@71GA]

Are you sure "uint32" options does what you say it does? Then what and how does "SPI_ChangeCS()" call from the same library works?

[@iknausz]

Great video and detail, thanks for putting this together. I follow the steps exactly, but get "..\libmpsse\ftdi_infra.c:261:Init_libMPSSE(): NULL expression encountered" message when running the program. I'm on Visual Studio 2015 just like the video. Thanks again.

Hi. Did you install the D2XX driver?

[@iknausz]

upgrdman hi, thanks so much for getting back. Yes, I installed the 4 files like you said and installed the system drivers. Somewhere I found that someone needed to use the visual studio 2013 (v120) toolset, but that didn't work for me. Any help appreciated, thanks!

[@iknausz]

I did get beyond this: The program was not finding 'ftd2xx.dll'. I fixed this by putting the file into the debug directory (with the .exe). I'm sure the proper solution is to fix the path variable to get the executable to find the dll from the install. Things work as expected now, thanks!!

[@charlieduru284]

am i the only experiencing a >2ms delay between command execution of the SPIwrite/Read function? any ideas please

[@guillaume8437]

Hi! Thanks for the nice VDO. Do you need to use FT_PROG to configure the IOs or is it in the VS code?

[@upgrdman]

You don't need to use FT_PROG, it can be configured with the C/C++ code.

[@PomaricoAntonio]

Great video. I am trying to make the same with I2C. But it does not work. I always have problems, that the libMPSSE were not found by the sample_dynamic.exe, which is created by b.bat. Can you help me?

[@theRealPito]

Excellent video, congrats what gyro did you use in the video? can you post the giro's datasheet?

[@upgrdman]

Thanks. It's an STM L3GD20. Datasheets are all over Google and STM's web site, but I think that particular model is going to be discontinued soon.

[@theRealPito]

Thanks for the info, keep doing good videos. yeah It is true, It is not recommended for new design but is still in production

[@PomaricoAntonio]

I am trying to run the sample code for the FTD2232H Chip with I2C. But it does not work. I always have problems, that the libMPSSE were not found by the sample_dynamic.exe, which is created by b.bat. Can you help me? The right mingw is installed (4.5.x), the driver D2xxx are installed. When I run the b.bat file then i get this error Failed loading libMPSSE.dll. Please check if the file exists in the working directory sample-dynamic.c:255:main(): NULL expression encountered But the libMPSSE.dll is in the right working directory.

[@acpck]

Great tutorial! Unfortunately for some reason FT_WriteGPIO and FT_ReadGPIO is not working :(

[@saeedehghaffari8019]

Did you manage to make the FT_WriteGPIO and FT_ReadGPIO work? if yes, how?

[@stuff2learn07]

Can we use this to program a stm32 device via SPI

[@upgrdman]

I've never tried it. Instead of writing your own program to do it, you might try looking into a tool like OpenOCD. I think it supports some FTDI chips.

[@stuff2learn07]

@@upgrdman thank you. I will look into it. I was looking into other ways and those looked complex.

[@sergovan79]

Hi! Thanks a lot! Great video! I can't understand how did u connect libMPSSE.lib to your project?

[@sergovan79]

Ups, sorry, I dont see at Resource Files

[@nikhileshk7047]

I2C please

[@PomaricoAntonio]

yes pls

[@jasongao9592]

nice share . I get it !

[@upgrdman]

Glad you liked it, thanks for the feedback.
