I'm a noob at programming but I learned a lot about visual basic the last few days. I need to read bytes from a microchip using usb. I'm using 'FTDI FT232BM USB' for sending the data over usb. I know how to use this chip in Visual Basic with the virtual comm driver but I want to use the ftd2xx direct usb driver now.
My question concerns the ft_read function: I want to read the incoming data byte after byte. I could read like 3 bytes in row too, but the function outputs these 3 bytes to a string I think. I want to have the integer value (decimale value) of each recieved byte (binary value). How can I do that?

Hey,

Hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about...
thx
