Crate libftd2xx

Rust safe wrapper for the FTDI D2XX drivers.

This takes the libftd2xx-ffi C bindings crate and extends it with rust safe wrappers.

Usage

Simply add this crate as a dependency in your Cargo.toml. The static library is distributed in the libftd2xx-ffi crate with permission from FTDI.

[dependencies]
libftd2xx = "~0.5.1"

This is a basic example to get your started. Check the source code or documentation for more examples.

use libftd2xx::Ftdi;

let mut ft = Ftdi::new()?;
let info = ft.device_info()?;
println!("Device information: {:?}", info);
