<p dir="ltr">If the cable doesn't work, check the pin out. The ground wire was on the wrong pin. In soldered and back to the right pin and working good now. Does have a true ftdi on it.</p>

How much did your FTDI cable cost? (Any chance it's built with a<br>
counterfeit FTDI part?)<br>
<br>
FTDI is playing the same sort of games as Prolific, detecting fake parts<br>
and declining to work with them. Do NOT downgrade to the driver FTDI<br>
circulated that re-writes the USB PID, bricking the part for most<br>
people. (There are utilities to re-re-write the PID, but they're beyond<br>
the ken of many people.) Does <a href="http://miklor.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">miklor.com</a> have info and driver d/l for<br>
FTDI?<br>
