I do not think there are anny of these boards that come with genuine FTDI chip.
Now I will try another way to get this solved. I will return with more info.

I will cross my fingers that it is true. I am not into solder a new chip on my boards. Sorry I am to old for this small stuff

Thank for the update on this. Yes all my modules is with Clone chips. Do you have any preference where to get one without cloned chips.
I have now found a simple way to test if it is a clone board.
When plugging board in to USB it starts up fine and install with correct COM port and so.
But second time I plugging board into USB it comes up under Other Devices - FT232R USB UART.
And under hardware-id under details it has 2 lines:
USB\VID_0403&PID_0000&REV_06000
USB\VID_0403&PID_0000
When it was working the first time it was inserted to USB port it has only one line.

I have one interface made with part from Ebay. Haw can I check it is not a clone.
And I now have delivered to a customer that says it does not work any more.
But it seems that interface is running and the needle in PDW is flashing as normal.

Data Slicers and Interfaces / Re: RS232 to 3.5 Mono cable

OK i think you most have an modem called 'Hamcomm modem'. This is not just a cable.
It has to have some level conversion added in to the cable.
But you can find lot of info for the old Hamcomm modem on this site or you can bye one
alredy made at http://www.discriminator.nl/order/index-en.html

I am not shure what you mean. The RS232 interface uses 3 connection. pin 5 is Ground and pin 2 and 3 is in and out data.
So you can not convert this to a mono cable or connection.

Data Slicers and Interfaces / LED falsh at startup

« on: 18 Apr 2014, 12:13:14 »

Can any one here tell what the flash LED show when connecting power.
I have now assembled 3 RS323 modems and one of them is flashing different and do not work.

It seems that the 2 that are working is startup with one flash.
The one that does not work is starting with 4 fast flash, and then 4 slow flash.
