Question about FT232RL

Hey guys,

I’m a total beginner and I hope you can help me.

I currently have a FT232RL

as far as I can see I don’t have a dtr. So according to wiki I have to reconnect RTS to GND every time? What is the best way to do this? just connect the wire briefly by hand?

Yes, just connect the two jumper wires for a moment before you send the command

ok, I have done that. I get the following message from the cc3200tool when I send a command

Connected, reading version…

but it does not continue

any hints?

Thank you

Please post a complete and give more details

it stuck on Connected, reading version…

How you connected the wires

i have used this guide from baumeisterde

the only difference is, RST is not connected to DTR, bc no DTR.

UPDATE: I have reset the Toniebox about 20 - 30 times and I was able to execute one command successfully. i don’t know why i need so many attempts for it to work once

Hello,
I also always get the “timed out while waiting for ack” message. The connections are correct but when I plug in the UART adapter the Toniebox lights up green, is this the UART mode? I connected DTR to RST and VCC to SOP2. What can I do to make the connection work?

Edit: Now I have connected the VCC bridge with SOP2 in the box and now the communication works.
