Hello, i hope the tag is correct. I was wondering about this for a while. a couple= of years ago i bought a portable speaker, with cable and ipod dock, powere= d both via batteries and usb. I crossed my fingers and one day i linked the= speaker with my pc. nothing. only power... but why? Unfortunately i don't = know much about USB protocol, but since it is a serial port it shouldn't be= hard to write a software that sends the sample... or calculate the PW for = a "simulated" class D then send only the 1 and the zeros... am I mad o_O???= ? because i haven't found anything yet and my old teacher told me "good luc= k if you want to learn usb by yourself, it's very hard to find technical re= sources of any kind" Jacopo Monegato =20 --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
