Hi,

I am working on evaluating the FT260 for the dual purpose of UART and I2C.  I am currently having issues with with having the device show up in device manager as a COM Port.  The device does show up as a "HID Compliant Device". 

I have installed the latest drivers (v2.12.28) from the FTDI website.  Does the FT260 show up on host as a COM Port?  I have tried the connecting the UMFT260EV1A to both a windows 7 and windows 10 system.


Thanks,

Hello,

The FT260 is a HID class device and as such it does not generate a Virtual COM Port like our Vendor class serial devices do (for example the FT232R). As such to interface with the FT260 you can use standard HID class reports or our helper library, LibFT260.
