Analyzing USB Comm

[rmteo]

Technically, the fastest 8-bit PICs are the PIC18FxxKxx series that are rated at 64Mhz. But you are absolutely correct about USB stuff being done in hardware.

I stand corrected!

I will now have her give me 40 lashes for the error.
WooHoo!

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 all the direction.

How about a different approach:

Take a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2-USB adaptor and tap the data on the PS/2 side.
There are a lot of keyboard interfacing examples out there...

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 breadboarded with the USBN9604 and am working on the code, so will continue to push forward with USB only.

Thank you for the suggestion.
