Transferring data USB

Question

I am trying to send and receive data over USB, my device, the Acer Iconia A500 has everything needed to connect to the device and everything, that is fine and works properly

Answer 1

I was trying to send data over the wrong baud rate.

Here's the code that works. Posting it for everyone who is using FTDI devices and needs help.

private Runnable mLoop = new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            UsbDevice dev = sDevice;
            if (dev == null)
                return;
            UsbManager usbm = (UsbManager) getSystemService(USB_SERVICE);
            UsbDeviceConnection conn = usbm.openDevice(dev);
            l("Interface Count: " + dev.getInterfaceCount());
            l("Using "
                    + String.format("%04X:%04X", sDevice.getVendorId(),
                            sDevice.getProductId()));

            if (!conn.claimInterface(dev.getInterface(0), true))
                return;

            conn.controlTransfer(0x40, 0, 0, 0, null, 0, 0);// reset
                                                            // mConnection.controlTransfer(0×40,
                                                            // 0, 1, 0, null, 0,
                                                            // 0);//clear Rx
            conn.controlTransfer(0x40, 0, 2, 0, null, 0, 0);// clear Tx
            conn.controlTransfer(0x40, 0x02, 0x0000, 0, null, 0, 0);// flow
                                                                    // control
                                                                    // none
            conn.controlTransfer(0x40, 0x03, 0x0034, 0, null, 0, 0);// baudrate
                                                                    // 57600
            conn.controlTransfer(0x40, 0x04, 0x0008, 0, null, 0, 0);// data bit
                                                                    // 8, parity
                                                                    // none,
                                                                    // stop bit
                                                                    // 1, tx off

            UsbEndpoint epIN = null;
            UsbEndpoint epOUT = null;

            byte counter = 0;

            UsbInterface usbIf = dev.getInterface(0);
            for (int i = 0; i < usbIf.getEndpointCount(); i++) {
                l("EP: "
                        + String.format("0x%02X", usbIf.getEndpoint(i)
                                .getAddress()));
                if (usbIf.getEndpoint(i).getType() == UsbConstants.USB_ENDPOINT_XFER_BULK) {
                    l("Bulk Endpoint");
                    if (usbIf.getEndpoint(i).getDirection() == UsbConstants.USB_DIR_IN)
                        epIN = usbIf.getEndpoint(i);
                    else

                    l("Not Bulk");
                }
            }

            for (;;) {// this is the main loop for transferring
                try {
                    Thread.sleep(100);

                String get = "$fDump G" + "\n";
                l("Sending: " + get);

                byte[] by = get.getBytes();

                // This is where it sends
                l("out " + conn.bulkTransfer(epOUT, by, by.length, 500));
