General Discussion / FT230X Flow Control
« on: September 23, 2020, 02:00:15 AM »
Sincere apologies - I must be missing something because there are a lot of posts on the topic of flow control.
The datasheet states "Control signals supported by UART mode include RTS, CTS. .... RTS/CTS and XON/ XOFFhandshaking options are also supported"
Where are these options selected? I have gone through FT_Prog and can find nothing other than signal inversion settings. The D2XX_Programmer's_Guide provides options to set flow control, but that would require a D2XX based program to configure them (or is that somehow managed by the VCP enumeration??) If so then what is the power up condition of the chip - ie is there any handshaking prior to configuration?
Thanks in advance,
Colin
