The original rev had two issues that were immediately noted by BSVi.  First, the starting directory was hardcoded to c:\temp with no error checking, which caused the program to bomb if that directory didn’t exist.  Second, the device was only searching for FTDI interfaces with the labels FT232B or FT232R, whereas BSVi’s interface was custom and used his own ID string.

This new version allows for the user to enter a custom string for matching the FTDI interface, as well as the ability to continue if the c:\temp directory is not found.  Put yer custom string in the textbox right beneath the “Find All FTDI Interfaces” button.

Ugh.  Brute forcing dots, what has the world come to?  Certainly not something we’d like to repeat, we’re guessing the dots are about 90um!  But although grueling and inelegant, the job is done and the sequence is extracted for all to enjoy.  Please thank the inventor of the rainbow, and the derivative usage of the resistor color code to extend said rainbow to base 10 for their help in making this legible.  You have no idea how unintelligible this crap is when they are not color coded.

Also note that space still remains in between each dot.  Yes, more . . . → Read More: Dot Blindness
