Note: As of version 10556.0 the ftdi driver does no longer seem to work. A sample application showcasing the FTDI D2XX driver use in Windows Universal projects (UWP). This sample is tested on the Raspberry PI 2 with Windows IOT installed and a FTDI FT232R usb-to-serial adapter.

Question: will also support the FT232RL? RS485 USB #2

Great! Do you think this driver will also support the FT232RL ( http://wiki.in-circuit.de/images/d/da/610000191A.pdf ) that I have already? I'm searching for the difference between drivers -- if any -- but don't see anything yet.

I don't see why not, looking at the page where I got the driver from: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm it doesn't look like it specifically excludes certain devices.

You might have to add the vid/pid for the FT232RL to this file though: https://github.com/Jark/FTDISample/blob/master/src/FTDISample/Package.appxmanifest

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks. I'll try it!

Progress! The device is now active on the Windows IoT core precisely as your tutorial describes. Very nice. Thanks again!

Glad that it was useful to you :) Hopefully eventually they'll make it work natively without having to use any different drivers or different apis.
