ft232 c++

Hi, I´m working in a experiment, until now I used the serial port of the pc to send and receive the data I wanted to put there, using simple C commands, like outportb() and inportb() with bios.h, even using turbo c++ 3...

I have look to FT232 chip, but it seems a bit complicaded to interface it and put or read some data in serial outputs of it.

Is the anyone that have done that?

Tanks for any help
 

ft232 usb

The FT232 chip enumerates as a com port, so you can use it as you would any other com port.
Unfortunately, I dont think usb drivers for DOS are readly available and the usb interface is not trivial to code.
You could always upgrade your compiler to 'Borland Turbo C++ 2006', which is a free download from Code Central.
Then write code using the Windows API.
