Datasheet
Unzip the archive and you should see a series of folders like below:
We need to copy some files from libftdi into Python's package directory. Open another Explorer window and navigate to the
location you installed Python earlier, typically C:\python27. Inside the Python directory navigate to the Lib > site-packages
folder. Files you copy into this folder will be available globally as packages that your Python scripts can use.
From the libftdi archive folder, copy all the .DLL files from the bin folder into the Python site-packages folder, specifically:
bin\libftdi1.dll
bin\libftdipp1.dll
bin\libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll
bin\libiconv-2.dll
bin\libintl-8.dll
bin\libstdc++-6.dll
bin\libusb-1.0.dll
Then also copy in the files from the python2.7 folder of the libftdi archive into the Python site-packages folder:
python2.7\_ftdi.pyd
python2.7\ftdi1.py
To double check you copied in the right files, your Python site-packages folder should have at least the files below inside it (you
might see other files & directories, but don't worry they can be ignored):
