USB shield and FTDI

Development Boards Arduino

Hi All,

I would like to use the Arduino USB shield to communicate with a device that is using a FTDI ship to create a Virtual COM port. I have been looking into the documentation of the USB shield library, but I dont know if it will work.

Can the USB shield library be used to communicate (over USB) to a device that is communicating via a virtual COM port?

Thanks!

Answered my own question. There is an example in the USB Shield library for a serial loop back program using FTDI.
