Ratings and reviews

Won't connect! Two different phones, Samsung S3 (Android 4.4.4 & 4.3) with standard OTG (works with mouse, keyboard and storage). Won't connect to 3 different FTDI devices, all FT232R chip. Also tried direct USB connection.

FTDI hardware was purchased to work with very old machining equipment. FTDI hardware spec says the FT312D support xon/xoff, but the option is not present in the AOA version of the app. Please add xon/xoff flow control and I will gladly change to 5 star.

No icon, but the app will pop by itself when plug USB accessory.
