FT260 Rust Project

This Rust project interacts with the FT260 USB-to-UART bridge chip using the rusb crate. It provides functionalities to enable UART communication, configure UART settings, receive data, and write data to the USB.

Usage

To use this project, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure you have Rust installed on your system.
  2. Clone this repository to your local machine.
  3. Include the ft260 crate in your Rust project's dependencies.
  4. Instantiate an FT260 object using FT260::new().
  5. Use the various methods provided by the FT260 struct to interact with the FT260 chip.

Example

use ft260::FT260;

fn main() {
    // Create a new FT260 instance
    let mut ft260 = match FT260::new() {
        Some(ft260) => ft260,
        None => {
            println!("Failed to initialize FT260 device.");
            return;
        }
    };

    // Enable UART communication
    match ft260.enable_uart() {
        Ok(_) => println!("UART enabled successfully."),
        Err(e) => {
            println!("Error enabling UART: {}", e);
            return;
        }
    }

    // Configure UART settings
    match ft260.configure_uart(9600, 8, 0, 1, 0) {
        Ok(_) => println!("UART configured successfully."),
        Err(e) => {
            println!("Error configuring UART: {}", e);
            return;
        }
    }

    // Receive data from the FT260 chip
    match ft260.receive_data() {
        Ok(data) => println!("Received data: {:?}", data),
        Err(e) => println!("Error receiving data: {}", e),
    }

    // Write data to the FT260 chip
    let data_to_write = b"Hello, FT260!";
    match ft260.write_usb(data_to_write) {
        Ok(_) => println!("Data written successfully."),
        Err(e) => println!("Error writing data: {}", e),
    }
}
