多个USB转RS485 FTDI设备ID

Question

I need some help. I'm programming a Win 10 App in C++/CX. I am using two USB to RS485 devices, both of which have the same VID number. In days of old, I could write a bit software and connect to ports using good old COMx etc.

I'm now following the example here Serial Sample which uses the approach gathering the device info so when looking for connected devices, what I see in the list of available devices is the following.

\\?\\FTDIBUS#VID_0403+PID_6001

Both devices have the same VID and PID. This leads to the problem of me being cable to connect to the correct USB device. I think my app is trying to connect to both devices at the same time? Does anyone have any ideas about how I can resolve this hitch?

void MainPage::Get_Serial_Devices() {

cancellationTokenSource_Port1 = new Concurrency::cancellation_token_source();
cancellationTokenSource_Port2 = new Concurrency::cancellation_token_source();

// THIS USES ASYNCRONOUS OPERATION. GET A LIST OF SERIAL DEVICES AND POPULATE THE COMBO BOX
Concurrency::create_task(ListAvailablePortsAsync()).then([this](DeviceInformationCollection^ serialDeviceCollectioin)
{

    // serialDeviceCollection CONTAINS ALL SERIAL DEVICES FOUND, COPY INTO _deviceCollection
    DeviceInformationCollection^ _deviceCollection = serialDeviceCollectioin;

    // CLEAR EXISTING DEVICES FOR OUR OBJECT COLLECTION
    _availableDevices->Clear();

    // FOR EVERY DEVICE IN _deviceCollection
    for (auto &&device : _deviceCollection) {

        if (device->Name->Equals("USB-RS485 Cable")) {

            // CREATE A NEW DEVICE TYPE AND APPEND TO OUR OBJECT COLLECTION
            _availableDevices->Append(ref new Device(device->Id, device));

            Total_Ports++;

            this->DeviceLists->Items->Append(device->Id);


        }

    }

});





void MainPage::ConnectButton_Click(Object^ sender, RoutedEventArgs^ e) {



if (Port1_Connected == false) {

    // CAST INDEX TO CORRELATING Device IN _availableDevices
    Device^ selectedDevice = static_cast<Device^>(_availableDevices->GetAt(Port_1_ID));



    // GET THE DEVICE INFO
    DeviceInformation^ entry = selectedDevice->DeviceInfo; 



    Concurrency::create_task(ConnectToSerialDeviceAsync_Port1(entry, cancellationTokenSource_Port1->get_token())).then([this]( ) {

        Get_Echo(); 
        Waiting_For_Ack = true;


    }); 

}


Concurrency::task<void> MainPage::ConnectToSerialDeviceAsync_Port1(DeviceInformation^ device, Concurrency::cancellation_token cancellationToken) {


// CREATE A LINKED TOKEN WHICH IS CANCELLED WHEN THE PROVIDED TOKEN IS CANCELLED
auto childTokenSource = Concurrency::cancellation_token_source::create_linked_source(cancellationToken);

// GET THE TOKEN
auto childToken = childTokenSource.get_token();


    // CONNECT TO ARDUINO TASK
    return Concurrency::create_task(SerialDevice::FromIdAsync(device->Id), childToken).then([this](SerialDevice^ serial_device) {

        try {



            _serialPort_Port1 = serial_device;

            TimeSpan _timeOut;  _timeOut.Duration = 10;

            // CONFIGURE SERIAL PORT SETTINGS

            _serialPort_Port1->WriteTimeout = _timeOut;
            _serialPort_Port1->ReadTimeout = _timeOut;

            _serialPort_Port1->BaudRate = 57600;

            _serialPort_Port1->Parity = Windows::Devices::SerialCommunication::SerialParity::None;
            _serialPort_Port1->StopBits = Windows::Devices::SerialCommunication::SerialStopBitCount::One;
            _serialPort_Port1->DataBits = 8;
            _serialPort_Port1->Handshake = Windows::Devices::SerialCommunication::SerialHandshake::None;



            // CREATE OUR DATA READER OBJECT
            _dataReaderObject_Port1 = ref new DataReader(_serialPort_Port1->InputStream);
            _dataReaderObject_Port1->InputStreamOptions = InputStreamOptions::None;


            // CREATE OUR DATA WRITE OBJECT
            _dataWriterObject_Port1 = ref new DataWriter(_serialPort_Port1->OutputStream);


            this->ConnectButton->IsEnabled = false;
            this->DisconnectButton->IsEnabled = true;


            // KICK OF THE SERIAL PORT LISTENING PROCESS
            Listen_Port1();



        }

        catch (Platform::Exception^ ex) {

            this->Error_Window->Text = (ex->Message);

            CloseDevice(PORT_1);
        }

    });
