The new Monitor has killed USB Adapter (like FTDI) support?
The new Monitor has killed USB Adapter (like FTDI) support?
The v1 had checkbox
"Auto device/port filter"
see
infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp
with this unchecked, the FTDI was shown.
The new v2 now has checkbox
"Show only supported devices"
at any check/uncheck, FTDI is never shown.
I see the issue now, its usability bug in v2!
see v1 had nice indication of selection:
but v2 has confusing title bar and DISABLED 'MODEM PORT' dropdown like:
and we have to click the 'SELECT DEVICE' title bar (no indication of an interactive button) to get finally the devices, including FTDI:
Hi,
Thank you for reporting this. I have forwarded it to out developers.
Are you able to connect to and use device after unchecking 'show only supported devices'?
Best regards,

Yes, the FTDI can be selected and works (with AT-client), the GUI is and you see there is an UP arrow/triangle at the right side of the device (currently closing the port) = Thus for usability the 'SELECT DEVICE' bar should also have a DOWN arrow/triangle, (corresponding the old layout).
Hi,
I will forward this to the developers and ask about making it more obvious that 'SELECT DEVICE' is a button. Thank you for the feedback!
Best regards,
Marte
