In your bad news maybe you missed to refer to the FT201 that I also get. Also bad news for this ?
Or better some hints what software is needed with android ?
Let’s have again a look on your advice for TOH adapting to FP2 (!)
So, I made my order with both FT311d and FT201 (tiny) breakouts according to your schematic above.
Did you include FT311 on the sketch to simply connect it by a USB patch cable downside to the FP2 ?
So, why shouldn’t I simply follow your plan ? You gave advice to use both FTDI’s alternatively , didn’t you ?
I also have a Jolla-phone wich maybe usefull to turn the FT311 for use as an OTG there ? Any ideas ?
I got all FTDI breakouts from holland (bitwizard) , I got my smartcovers from holland, FP is from holland - so it cannot be all wrong coming from NL 
sorry , this I didn’t get it because I already have your FP2 smartcovers on my table here (?)
