Title: Ch340. Why doesn’t it work?
Post by: 1slwb5 on May 13, 2019, 12:18:58 PM
All I read is that it doesn’t work but no one has asked the question of why.
So I’m asking it. Is it an IO conflict?

It relies on the FTDI API. Not really sure what you mean by "IO conflict".

Ch340 provides the same exact functionality as an ftdi chip, however nefmoto is written using the ftdi api/drivers as ftdi chips carry an unique unchangeable id, etc., and nefmoto uses this. If nefmoto would be written with COM port support it should work.

The thing is, nef is now fully open source and does not even rely on the ID thing any more...

Again, all the source is on github, I would welcome anyone to take a look and issue pull requests.

I would but my programming skills arent there for this kinda of job. I only worked in preset system and cases. I wish I would be able to help though.
