Hi All,
I would like to use the Arduino USB shield to communicate with a device that is using a FTDI ship to create a Virtual COM port. I have been looking into the documentation of the USB shield library, but I dont know if it will work.
Can the USB shield library be used to communicate (over USB) to a device that is communicating via a virtual COM port?
Thanks!
The Arduino can communicate directly with anything that presents a serial port. There is no reason to need to used the USB Host shield.
What is this device that you are wanting to communicate with?

The device you would like to talk to is an USB-Device. That USB-Device is using a FTDI chip? So you want to know how to write a driver for the Arduino USB Host Shield to control that device?
The USB Host Shield library has an example named "FTDI." It might be what you are looking for:
Thanks James,
That is exactly what I was looking for.
Cheers
Hi there,
I also would like to use the Arduino USB shield to communicate with a device that is using a FTDI ship to create a Virtual COM port.
But the device setting is 38400 baud rate, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, and odd parity. I don't know how to set them in the USB Host Shield library example named "FTDI." Does any one knows?
Thank you very much.
Hi All I'm from Pakistan,
I would like to communicate with a device that is using a FTDI ship to create a Virtual COM port. Which would be the best and cheaper way to implement this?? i don't wanna to use RaspberryPi or OrangePi to implement this one. Actually i wanna to use esp32
