FEZ Lynx S4

EDIT:
I am sorry that my question is posted here… My fault. I have no idea why I put it here.

As usual… My bags are packed, I have the ticket, but my ship has already left port…

Having a bit of a problem creating a Serial port. (For the moment only Writing a test string)

Using Socket 4 Pin 4, CDBUS 0 - TX
Using Socket 4 Pin 5, CDBUS 1 - RX

Using a Breadboard X1 to read Socket 4 Pins 4&5.
No output seen

My guess is that I need to do something with ftd2xx_net.ftdi.ft_cbus_options but I have no idea what I should be doing to set the I/O.

A Bit long but what I have so far: The code is mostly code I found at FTDI

Thanks for any help you can provide

What are you trying to do?

Btw, no need to get device list twice.

@ Architect -

Btw, no need to get device list twice

The code is only a test. I added the second just to see what the information was. There is no need for it other than info. In fact most of the code is only there for my testing to try and find out what is wrong.

I want to read/write using serial on Socket 4, pins 4/5. The write loop is only for continuous output while I looked for a signal. There is no output on TX

@ willgeorge - I may have simply missed it in your source, but I am not seeing the DBUS being setup as a serial device. Not sure what it is in the C# library, but in the C++ library it is FT_SetBitMode.

Please see FTDI AN2232C-02 for the bit modes available:

@ James -

Thank you for the link. I think that will get me going…
