Sorry - I meant to add that I am happy to correspond with anyone who wants to play with USB to share our experiences - email addy below.

Subject: Re: [PIC] USB PIC related Links OK..so every now and then I get the itch to play with USB, but of course till there is a live project....hard to spare the time. However, seems to me from what I have seen on this forum, the FTDI chip is the easy plug n play method? I say that from the eye opening class/seminar I took from Cypress a month or so back. Using one of the USB enabled PSoC devices, similar to what MC has I assume..built in MAC and PHY so add the connector and majik sauce...but setting up the device ID, endpoints, and everything else was pretty complex. They have a wizard for it in the software so it made it simple...once you knew what was going on. But it goes back to inplementing USB in a PIC...how hard is it to really get it going? How much USB background do you need in order to make it work. If all it is, emulating some HID device, so you can have 3 endpoints and transfer data back and forth....essentially a serial link. So for those that have done the USB...and ive seen the demo's....it all "looks" simple. What about doing it assembly? or is it like the USART modules...setup, enable and fly?

Hope this helps those who want to try USB.
