Re: [AVR-Chat] Re: USB to serial db9 cable

It depends on how the EEprom is configured, if the device is set to use a fixed serial number then it will always enumerate itself as the same com port whichever USB it is plugged into.
 
I use these devices a fair bit and i always reconfigure the eeprom settings so that all FTDI devices (when i'm developing) will enumerate themselves as the same com port number.
 
MPROG 3.5 can read write these settings or it can be done through the api dll.

I would like to introduce my FTDI USB-2-serial dongle that doesn't 
change the COMx number when connected on different USB port.

Don't ask me why, I don't know.
