Using FT4232H: RuntimeError: BLINKA_FT232H environment variable set, but no FT232H device found

Post by VPaulG »

I've gone through the FT232H Python installs, used Zadig to install the libusbK, then libusb-win32 drivers. When I do:

import usb
import usb.util
dev = usb.core.find(idVendor=0x0403, idProduct=0x6011)

*Note I had to use 0x6011, not 0x6014 to access the FT4232 board.

Then I do:

import board

I get:

<lots of stuff>
File "C:\Users\PaulGreenwood\PycharmProjects\ft4232_test\venv\Lib\
site-packages\adafruit_platformdetect\chip.py", line 71, in id
raise RuntimeError(
RuntimeError: BLINKA_FT232H environment variable set, but no FT232H device found

So, it's not an FT232H, I'm using an FT4232. But I don't see any documentation on how to use this board though I read that the FT4232 is supported by the FTDI package.

Has anyone got this to work on an FT4232 board?

Thanks!

Blinka does not support the FT4232H.
