I don't have example sketch specific to FTDI but the interface is very similar to ACM or PL2303. FTDI chip is supported by rev.2.0 library.

The sketch is intended to drive a robotic panorama head and will also control the taking of HDR exposures at each camera position is moves the head to. Looking forward to seeing Part 1...

Funny enough it uses a FTDI chip to convert serial to USB which I want to convert back to serial and read with my Arduino. I hope this is easy enough with the FT232 library....

I've accidentally purchased a Sparkfun Buttonpad Controller USB (instead of SPI) and am looking forward to being able to drive it easily from a microcontroller / Arduino. It uses an FT245RL, which I hope is similar enough to the FT232 to make porting straightforward. You're right, it's totally perverse to have this serial-USB-USB-serial situation, but sometimes it's hard to bypass the conversion chip on the target board. While I wait for USB Host Shield code I'll keep looking for a way to patch directly into serial for my Buttonpad Controller USB... I’m very excited for the FT232 driver for the USB host shield!

Wherever there is a "amp;" it should be changed to "&". The code as it currently is does not compile. Also, i like this FT232 project and i hope you finish it soon because I could really use it.
