This folder contains the C header file ftd2xx.h, and import libraries for ftd2xx.dll, suitable for Visual Studio 2008 Visual C++ projects. The DLL itself is installed in the system as part of the driver installation. Note that static libraries to use D2XX without the DLL are available elsewhere on the CD-ROM within the main drivers folder "\Drivers\Win XP, Vista, 7, 2000-2008\CDM20802 WHQL Certified\Static". See FTDI's Technical Note "TN_109" for instructions on including the library in a VS2008 project. This is available at <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/TechnicalNotes.htm>. The FTDI website also has programming examples and library bindings for using the D2XX functions in other programming languages. See <http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/SoftwareExamples/CodeExamples.htm>.Download Driver Pack
