Crikey! That's way cool. So, it //is// do-able after all, eh? Hmmm. Things have moved on a bit since I looked at the windowed 16c745(?) USB chip. That didn't look all too do-able at all. What would people recommend v/v expting with low-speed (I guess?) USB on a PIC. Somehow I don't think you could do it on protoboard, as has been my custom. Just d'loaded the specs for ... PIC18F2450/4450 Data Sheet "UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) Devices in the PIC18F2450/4450 family incorporate a fully featured Universal Serial Bus communications module that ..." Sounds promising - it's flash programmable and that's a big plus in my book. Is the PICDEM USB board totally essential for prototyping, would you say? Thanks for tips.
