>The easy path: a flash PIC + FT232BM I would agree with this route - if you are not going to produce a lot of these then this is the least difficult design path. It is not the least cost solution if your parts count is very high. So far my investigations into USB has revealed steep learning curves, especially if you are not well versed on the PC side of the software. THe FDTI chip cuts through all this but at a price adder of a couple of bucks, depending on how many you buy. I would love to be able to design a USB project with the USB embedded into the chip, but if you don't already have a leg up on this subject it can involve a lot of heavy lifting. -- Lawrence Lile Wouter van Ooijen Sent by: pic microcontroller discussion list 03/19/2004 05:00 AM Please respond to pic microcontroller discussion list To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: Subject: Re: [PIC:] USB, working wth... > I have a simple cuestion: I'm going to need to make a simple > application that must communicate trough USB to a desktop > computer.
