    Default Query - 16F628A direct to USB

    Hi All,
    I’m very new to this technology I was giving a programmer w/10 16F628A’s that I have been playing with and I was wondering if there is a way to directly connect my Project to the USB port, like my programmer does? It will have to setup the comm. port on the computer side, I have been using a RS232 to USB converter cable but I would like to try connecting direct.

    Thanks,

    PICKit2 connects to USB and will program and power your PIC, get the lo Pin count demo board and it comes with a 16F690, leds and away you go. http://www.microchipdirect.com/produ...words=DV164120

    Yes an onboard serial to USB converter
    I want to be able to plug my project directly to the USB port and have my computer automatically recognize the serial port, sorry I may not have worded it correctly – I’m old.. lol

    I am embarassed to say that I have not done anything with USB. Yet ...
    So all I can do is point you to something from one of the masters that may help.

    If you mean implementing USB on a 16F628, however improbable it sounds, there's a guy who has done exactly that;
