stm 32F4 Virtual comport won't work

Hello,

i am trying to use the virtual comport of the stm32f407vgt6 to communicate with my win 10 pc. I want to send 16 bytes of data.

I created a base project in cubeMX and insert the cdc_transmit. There it is possible to send 16 bytes of data via the virtual comport to my pc. I can see the incoming datas in hterm.

My Problem is, that it's impossible to access the COM port via hterm or labview, when i add some lines of code, e.g. set up an ADC. If the send buffer is bigger then 19 bytes i got the same problem.

The following program isn't working.

I attached a working example. So i have no idea where the mistake can be.

Refer to the video information below

Please test it by only setting up the USB CDC function.

(only cdc, no timer adc i2c etc)

Hello,

thanks for your reply. The STM USB training video saved the day.

I have tested the communication with 115 Bytes now. That works in the basic programm.

I will include the other parts like adc and dma and i2c later step by step and check if it is still working.
