About a year ago I wanted EasyHID so forked out funds for the MCSP upgrade, but same thing - the software developer was totally unresponsive to ANY inquiry. However, when I asked for a refund, the...

Hi All. Totally agree with SkiMask RTFM policy, so made sure I scoured this forum, Googled, thoroughly read data sheets, and re-reviewed a lot of code available.

BrianT's code and explanation...

Figured out MPLab, I think. After getting some zzzzzzs, re-read the page on Melabs to see that those instructions referred to PBP 2.60 or later. (Ordered the PBP 2.60 update CD last night, so have to...

Hi All.

I am using PBP 2.50c and am waiting for PBP 2.60 upgrade to be delivered.

Getting back to PIC USB programming after about a six month break between projects. I put together another PIC...

Bruce,

I too really appreciate the posting above and all the other help provided on this forum.

The data sheet and the Eagle symbol confused me. Here is an update.

I just changed the drawing in the attachment above. Moved the connect to clockout on the 9604 to the WR/SK pin. Is that correct? To have the same pin going to both SK and SDI on the PIC?

Data...

Well... I decided to go with an 18F4550, since it gives a little more room for evil expansion. :cool::cool:

Here is a spaghetti schematic, so good luck trying to find the wire routes. Still trying...

Thanks Melanie. Been reading your posts, thanks for all the help.

It is right there!

Crazy question... but is microwire the same thing as SPI? Everything I have read tends to associate the two, but nothing clearly states that they are the same thing. Or, is microwire the same thing...

Jerson >> That compsys link only has a schematic. Do you have that Picbasic code? A link for the code is there, but it's dead or wrong, or something.

Yes, the second drawing is what I am doing. Late last week in a forum exchange with Darrel and after some extensive research, we concluded that since USB is packet-based and such high speed, that...

This is great timing. When this came across the forum, I was ready to purchase a couple of those Vinculum chips, thinking they would be easier to deal with than the USBN9604. One more question....
...

Well... the USBN9604 is working as expected - hosting a keyboard and passing on the signals. More details with a drawing within the next couple days. I am fairly certain that this...

Don't jump into this too far without purchasing a USB node controller chip such as the USBN9604, or even better, the Viniculum chip. Putting the code together to interface an 18F2550 and a USBN9604,...

I've found this schematic that helped with the wire-up between an 18F2550 and a USBN9604.
<a...

With no further ado.... and for those poor souls that will need this solution in the future.....

Go into the EasyHID program folder >> CodeGenerators folder and change the pbp.ini file so that the...

Darrel,

Thanks again. But I have been far less than demanding for NOW service on this issue. Two weeks, going on three weeks, have passed since purchasing the product and have only lodged one...

Finding the right driver for the keyboard is irrelevant to EasyHID functioning or not. And I have USB devices working without EasyHID, but do not have EasyHID working. The keyboard issue was resolved...

I've had this EasyHID problem and nobody at Mecanique responds with support. One email arrived asking me to send in a screen shot... I sent the screen shot, which doesn't make sense since it is the...

That would be the quicker route and it was considered, because there is a lot about tapping a PS2 keyboard out there.... and it's still not out of the question. Right now I have everything...

Thank you.... soldering the USB controller chip onto a daughter board right now. When I get the whole rig breadboarded and working, will update my schematic and post it here.

Again, thank you for...

Darrel,

You're right (again). Vinculum is the way to go, and that chip I mentioned is a hub with 7 downstream and one upstream.... it may work, but not experimenting any more if I can avoid it. I...

FTDI is my friend.....

And this chip has a port specifically for keyboard communication.
The FTDI web site says this device is not recommeded for new...
