Oakrey.Ftdi 1.0.0

Oakrey.Ftdi

Overview

The Oakrey.Ftdi project is a .NET library designed for managing and interacting with FTDI (Future Technology Devices International) devices. It provides a robust API for serial communication, device configuration, and advanced features like CBus control and modem emulation. The library is built to support .NET 8 and is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures.

Features

Serial Communication:

• Implements interfaces like ISerialPort and ISerialPortReadOnly for serial port operations.
• Supports configurations such as baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity through SerialPortSettings.

Device Management:

• Provides detailed device information using DeviceInfo and DeviceType.
• Tracks device status with DeviceStatus and StatusFlags.

CBus Control:

• Offers support for CBus operations with settings and options tailored for FTDI chips like FT232H, FT232R, and others.
• Includes classes like CBusDirections, CBusValues, and CBusEepromOptions for precise control.

Advanced Handshaking:

• Implements handshaking mechanisms through IHandshakeSettings and NullModemSettings.
• Supports null modem emulation with or without CBus control.

Native Interfacing:

-Utilizes native methods (FtdiNativeMethods, FtdiNativeMethodsX64, and FtdiNativeMethodsX86) for low-level operations. -Includes ftd2xx.dll and ftd2xx64.dll for direct communication with FTDI devices.

Error Handling:

Provides robust error handling with FtdiException for managing device-related errors.

Extensive Data Types:

Offers a wide range of data types for configuration, status, and control, such as BitMode, FlowControl, LineStatus, and ModemStatus.

Wrapper Utilities:

• Includes FtdiWrapper for high-level operations like EEPROM management, communication, and status monitoring.
• Supports bit mode operations and device settings through specialized wrapper methods.
